sdmcp.exe

How do I get rid of it?

from Stardock Forums

I'm getting tired of killing this with process explorer. I don't know how I ended up with it on my system. I own 2 stardock games (Entrepeneur and Altarian prophecy). Neither seem to need it and I hardly ever play them. I can't find where sdmcp.exe is getting started. Any information on how to remove it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yaz

This is an old file that DesktopX used to control the SysTray and Icons minimized to the TaskBar. You shouldn't need it for these games and should be able to safely delete it.

if you have stardock central, open the setting and see if enable sdmcp tray notification support (something like that) is checked - that tells smcp to run at start
