This is used during many D-Link Wireless Driver Installations. It is not required after the install and can be removed with out harm. It will often cause your CPU to Run at 100% and peak your Services.exe in task manager. I have removed REG.exe and my laptop runs much better.

If D-Link DWL-G630 utility tries to install with Texas Instrument PCMCIA adapter, it will hang up and not finish the D-link registry update. Although your wireless adapter may still work, REG.EXE from the D-link subdirectory will execute each time you reboot, get hung up again, and cause your Win 2000 services.exe to us 90-100% of your CPU time. I removed the D-link REG.EXE from my windows registry and window and DWL-G630 works fine.

Commonly found with D-Link Wireless Driver Install. D-Link's version frequently breaks and goes into 100% CPU mode. Best thing to do is to rename the REG.EXE file to REG.EXE.disabled.
