Well that's a long process name! Having just upgraded my network to a 11g network I found that my computers Cpu usage was up from colse to the 3% mark it was now using about 55% some other people have reported much more cpu use than that!. What the heck was going on! I did the ctrl + alt + delete to bring up task boss scrolled down the list there was WinXpdisableZeroConfigation.exe hogging the Cpu. I did a quick hunt on the internet some folk think its a trojan, spyware, adware. What I did find was its installed by the belkin software for the router or wireless card. It comes from software XpDis0Conf belonging to Xpdisable0Conf. The file WinXpdisableZeroConfigation.exe can be found C:Program FilesBelkinBelkin 54Mbps Wireless UtilityTool if you appropriate the default values when installing the belkin software. What I do based on info gained elsewhere is boot up and let WinXpdisableZeroConfigation run once your computer is up and running use task boss ( ctrl + alt + delete ) to end the process. I have not found any problems as yet.
To stop WinXpdisableZeroConfigation.exe from running at startup consequent the instructions below. To do this you need to be an Administrator on the motor in question. Please read this first before you start. If this sounds too much for you use the above method using ctrl + alt + delete to end the process.
- Click start, run
- In the run box type msconfig and then click ok.
- Click on the startup tab, should be the last tab on the right Uncheck winxpdisablezeroconfig.exe
