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.
