If you're getting an error that says something like "Microsoft .NET framwork update v1.1.4322 is preventing your system from entering standby", stopping this process solves the problem and doesn't seem to mess up the computer any.

You can disable this process. But you may need it to work with MS Visual Studio 2005.

It's preventing my computer from entering standby mode, and it didn't show up until after I updated .NET via Automatic Update. I really don't think it's a necessary file.

Run Once follwing reboot after I installed .NET 1.1 security update 1. Looks like a key Microsoft component on the .NET 1.1 framework. Presumably not present if you went straight to .NET 2 or .NET 3
