I am not sure, but of one thing, that you need to stop using registry
cleaners now,as you may render your system useless.

I strongly recommend *against* the use of registry cleaners. Cleaning
of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry
alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people
think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to
convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt
you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Probably, since that file is involved in SharePoint and I doubt you use
that.

Then again, it does absolutely NO harm to leave it where it is. All Windows
systems have a ton of stuff that many if not most people never use. I
strongly recommend against trying to customize your installation just to get
rid of things you don't use.

I agree totally, I have seen people just click ok and assume everything is
going to be all right. But I use registry cleaners with great caution and
onlly delete what I know are safe. This dll file comes up in the registry
cleaner 15 times so that is why I wondered if it was safe. I did read up on
the dll file, but there is no answers available as to its importance or if it
is still a relevant file, MS file it is dated 2002.

Rename the file and see if there are any negative results.
