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.
