How can I disable annoying Xperia application on Windows? This application appears when I connect my Xperia T (CM12) to the PC:



Usually I just close it, and continue with my work, but even after closing, the application stays open in the taskbar:



There aren't any settings to disable this type of behaviour.

How can I disable this window (at least from the taskbar), without losing the MTP functionality of the phone?
Since the Xperia Control Panel automatically appears every time you connect the device, it seems a default action is set on Windows AutoPlay.

Usually, Windows will ask the user what to do when a device is connected to the PC (e.g. open folder to view files, take no action, etc.), and the user can set it as default action (which removes this pop-up and directly run the action automatically).

To change/disable this:


Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.
In the list next to the device or type of media, click the new action you want to use.


For the new action, you can choose Take no action so that Windows won't do anything when you connect the device.
