| It helps you install and uninstall programs and is vital because most programs run using it silently so DO NOT DISABLE THIS.

Mr Pulliam
| I have been using Microsoft Windows XP for the past 4-5 years without msiexec.exe running as a start-up process in the task bar at all. It just began running on my system recently, without any Administrative Manual Program Installation Runs on my part, whatsoever. So, I cannot explain what is going on with this process any longer. I see it running in my task bar, and it bothers me, because no programs are being installed to my knowledge. It gives me the impression that a program on my system is initiating this process without my knowledge, for whatever reason, I am unaware of.
I particularly find this threatening to my Operating System. I like this process to be set at manual through services.msc. Its value changes from manual to automatic without Administration rights, thereby posing a security and virus issue to my OS. Now, I just need to know what program or source is initiating this process without my consent. If it is Microsoft initiating this process, I cannot find any accurate knowledge-base explaining this new issue.

| I agree with pulliam, if this is an installed function, why is it showing up in start up programs? i have had a boatload of trouble with the vista installer, and now on this older xp desktop its showing up with not much info -why doesn't microsoft fix this crap? I am removing it from start up, as this is another vunerable area.
