Hi,
well, if you want to use Groove and keep synchronized with your partners,
then let the groovemonitor run. If you are not interested in Groove,
uninstall it and the groovemonitor.exe will be deleted as well (and of
course) not running anymore.

In my opinion, this reply is USELSS. Groove Support seems very arrogant,
and IS NOT interested in answering the users' question. Rather, he is "take
it or not". I would shy away any product from this company whenever I can.

I totally agree with Steve248, it was a very arrogant and snobby remark and i
will not be using this groove software in the near future, as there are many
people who are having problems even after uninstalling the program. Plus, i
find its a really silly name, sounds like someone was trying to be "hip" but
got stuck in the 80's.

Excuse me, but you are providing false/inaccurate information. You cannot
uninstall Groove from the 'Add/Remove Programs' menu. More importantly, I
was never asked whether I wanted to install it in the first place (could be
my install version of course, but think other have also been duped). The
only way I could get rid of it was by manually deleting the files, manually
removing it from the Startup, and manually ending the process.
No matter what your intended purpose for this software, it is still
malware!! Malware - software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer
system without the owner's informed consent. (via Wikipedia)

Look, if you guys are 'technical' at all as you put it, you would know that
when you install an application, there are registry keys that are created to
run the app on your pc. Now if you want to use (you installed the Groove
application) the groove application, chances are you dont want to erase the
key that the installation has created.
You pretty much said, "I want to constantly be sharing information using
groove but i dont want it to monitor changes." That doesnt make much sence
to me and im sure when you asked your question, the tech guy was thinking,
you installed it, why dont you want to use it, i guess he just wants to
collect apps on his computer and never use them.
Now granted, you may not use it all the time, BUT, you are in the part of
the registry where startup items are defined, to me, you knew the answer to
your own question...in fact the tech guy was probably wondering if you were
seriouse.
I dont think he was being arrogant, i think he probably answers alot of
question and that was an ID 10 T issue!
If you want to synchronize with your "partners" as he put it then
groovemonitor must be running. After all the name is fairly
obvious....Groove (the app you wanted to use) and Monitor (One that
admonishes, cautions, or reminds) meaning that it is waiting for changes to
allow the user of the program to be updated with whatever your working with.

Please, do help me to get rid of GrooveMonitor - if you can:
I am NOT a user of Groove. It installed "by accident" when I tried Office
2007, and did not go away when I uninstall Office 2007. All traces of
Office12 I could find are now deleted from my computer, but the startup line
for GrooveMonitor (pointing to a nonexistent file) reappear in the registry
after I delete it.
Would anyone know what creates it?
Thanks,
GregT

It is actually much simpler than it seams. I googled it and found the solution:
"Hello, this thread is to address the program in Microsoft Office 2007
Enterprise Edition named Groove Monitor. The subject i will talk about is
removing Groove from your PC. There are a lot of inquiries on the Web as to
how can it be disabled or removing the bundled program. when installing
Office 2007 I was aware that Groove had been installed but as time went on I
began to realized that it showed up in System Configuration Utilities startup
tab, but when you stop it from starting some say that it mysteriously
restarts which i had never noticed, which we know you can stop the program
from running at startup through the System Configuration Utility, so i began
looking for solutions as to how I could totally disable Groove, I did a
Google search for the solution but didn't come across a good solution as to
how it could be done.
This is when the solution came to me and this is how to do it, many are
looking for the solution when it is right under there nose, some are looking
for a Groove Monitor entry in Add and Remove which there is no entry because
Groove is bundled into Office, it is as simple as going to (Add and
Remove>Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007>Change (not Remove)>Check the Add or
Remove Features button>Go to the Microsoft Office Groove entry then expand
then check Not Available), there will be a red X placed there, then click
continue, then let the removal process do it's thing and you will no longer
have Groove on your PC."

Thanks for the onformative info. Have you found that allowing groove to run
has caused big bites of RAM to be lost???? After it loaded with Office 2007 I
noticed a huge deficit in my computing speed and ability???? Any suggestions?
