If one is removed by renaming or deletion, then it gets a copy from c:\windows\System32\dllcache. Ok, by removing that program, you will lose the reliability of windows being able to "repair" itself, from bad programs and crashes. pheonix (36)

in 2k that would be

disk:\winnt\Driver Cache\i386\sp4.CAB\wdmaud.drv

and

disk:\winnt\Driver Cache\i386\sp4.CAB\wdmaud.sys

So you believe if I delete those two files from the CAB they will not be able to regenerate the other elements of auto updates??
