I found the files to delete at this location:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intuit\QuickBooks\QBServerUtilityMgr.exe"
There were 4 files which started with QBServerUtility that I deleted and the shortcut in my start menu disappeared. My program operates fine now. Funny how many times the question was answered with a "solution" which wasn't even tested. Hope this idea helps you.
