Of course I did. ;-)

While I'm checking thru the items you've suggested, wish to clarify
that only a few issues are involved, I've just hoped to err on the side
of being informative at the outset by describing anything else note
that may/may not bear on them. A lot of text can appear to wrongly
increase the scope of a situ. I've not hoped to take us down other
rabbit trails by so typing.

I've referred to the missing "Microsft" directory because it is the
path of the cited error & missing file. I've not mistaken it for a
Windows directory or subdirectory. It's likely this directory was
originally installed by .NET Framework and/or an update to same as
that's what its remnants are full of. I doubt I've ever needed this
add-on, nor have I ever manually set it up or invoked it - I have only
one minor app which requires it (a custom install utility) that I could
live without. It's quizzical why a file or files from it are suddenly
being called while clicking on Help items, but it's not some major
problem. If this whole sidetrack is irrelevant to what we are
purusuing, then I couldn't care less whether I have .Net Framework or
whatever else may have resided in the "Microsoft" directory (apparently
it actually existed) or not. ;-) In this context, the .NET Framework
error is just a new annoyance I'd like to get rid of. Hope this
simplifies somewhat.

If of any further clarification, my only use/need of XP is on a
standalone laptop for wireless or wired DHCP-assigned i-net access,
some dialup, and light-duty audio & video production. So there are
already many unnecessary local services I disable or put on manual,
Wes. BITS was one of these, as it proved to greatly slow down startup
after boot is completed on this machine.

ISTM we have an obvious issue with missing reg items related to BITS,
as per my last. I.e., the inability to unload & reload those keys you
listed, if they are essential to BITS. I'll go through/perform the
rest of what you've kindly posted, & report. TY for the clarification
of the BITS update.

BstRgds,
frank
