Microsoft Works Update Detection
Wkdetect.exe checks for updates to MS Works
I have MS Works Suite 2004 (Works 7) and I do not have Wkdetect.exe.
I have no idea what versions Wkdetect.exe came with. MS Works 6.0 for one,
which is apparently the version that you have. ;-)
I would not worry about it. Just something that would be running all of the
time anyway.
You can check for updates here...
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx
The only update for Works 6 is that I saw was Works 6.0 Converter. Only
good if you have MS Word (included with the Suites). And Works 6 Utility:
Print Works Calendar.
It Starts from here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
As Microsoft Works Update Detection
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\WkDetect.exe

Hi All,
Both my Startup Inspector and Registry Mechanic continually
highlight the fact that this file is non existant on my XP OS. I have
tried searching Microsoft.com for it but without any real success. I have
established it is to enable Works Update Detection (I have MS Works 2002
Installed). Is it necessary to have this file? If so, where on the net
can I get to download it? Many Thanks
