Re: Task Manager - WinXPDisableZeroComfiguration.exe

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Malke, "WinXPDisableZeroComfiguration.exe" was the programme name I typed it
incorrectly in the first e mail.
Thank you - I nave checked NAV up to date, run NAV, spybot and Microsoft
Antispyware (Beta) version. Results came up with 3 ad files all deleted. On
rebooting this has made no difference.
Do you or anyone else recognise the programe - can I safely delete it?

Looking forward to more help please - contribution to a favourite charity
for anyone who solves this for me.
