OK... So from searching around this is clearly a programming problem. I
tried Bev Howards suggestions on her web site, (the registry hack did not
solve the constant accessing). I hit a wall when trying to "Disable" AS as
the shortcut I created from the "Mobile Devices Icon" had no such Disable
feature.

Why the programmers dediced it was OK to waste resources... have a device
make annoying bing/bong noises every 5 minutes... and do routines that are
completely unessary... is a complete mystery to me.

I suspect this will be made right at some point but it's truly amazing that
it happened in the first place. Is there an alternative to AS?
