I disagree with what you have said here. When Evernote makes the assumption that everybody wants to have a system wide shortcut that works even when Evernote for Windows is not running this is a pretty arrogant position to take. If some people want this functionality then fine, but obviously some (myself included) don't. Clipper is not an essential process to be able to use Evernote for windows (hence you can kill the process and everything else works fine). Please read where I said VS in combination with Resharper, I never said it was VS alone.

To stop the clipper (in Windows): 1) Exit Evernote 2) In Windows Task Manager kill the Evernote Clipper task that is running Now to stop clipper running ever again... 3) Run regedit and in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Evernote\Evernote\StartEvernoteClipper set this to 0 This will stop Clipper starting up when you start Evernote for windows. I have also attached this as a .reg file that you can download and just click on to run if you dont want to manually set the setting value to 0. 4) Run windows task manager -> Start-up tab -> RMB on Evernote Clipper and set it to disable. This is to stop Evernote clipper from starting on windows startup. This works as of Evernote 6.18.4.8489. Note: Every time Evernote updates you might want to check that they havent reset some of these settings and Clipper is not now starting up again. NOTE TO EVERNOTE DEVELOPERS (from a developer): Forcing the user to always have clipper running is pretty bad practice and there should be an option to easily stop it from running. Why? Cos the clipper hijacks so many key combinations at a system level probably without the user knowing. Why do I want to not have clipper running in the background? I (like millions of others out there) use Microsoft Visual Studio in combination with Resharper and the key combination shortcuts conflict with each other and because Evernote has hijacked the key combinations at a system level it stops certain key combinations from working in Visual Studio.

Stop Evernote Clipper from running by changing the following registry setting from 1 (default) to 0. HKCU\Software\Evernote\Evernote\StartEvernoteClipper EDIT: Please see my new bigger answer to this below. Evernote since I made this post originally have made it even harder to stop Clipper but it is possible :-).
