Overview 

An administrator can prevent users to uninstall or remove the inSync Client from their Windows devices while installing it on the user devices. This feature utilizes the Windows OS property ARPNOREMOVE. To add this restriction, perform the steps provided in the following section.

As a result, the inSync Client will neither be discoverable through Windows Search nor be listed in Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

This feature is available with inSync Client 6.2.0 and above.
