WinXPDisableZeroConfigation.exe is a problem with the Belkin card Aka the card that i have is F5D7000uk, the easy way to get ride of it is to download the patch witch i forgot where it is to be found but the sticky way i fixed it was by going to Start Run msconfig Startup and then untick the winxpdisablezero from start up and that seems to solve the problem its an easy process, no need to go out for anti virus software. This Problem is not caused by a virus, it is a problem with the belkin wireless card driver.

Loaded with my Belkin card like others - stopped in Windows task manager and CPU dropped from 100 to 11% (hoorah!) nothing damaged by terminating it, so ignore the warning.

I disabled it and it seems to make no difference. I asked Belkin about it.

If i dont end this process, after a while my laptop just switches off without shutting down first therefor losing all work!! If you have same problem, I'd suggest deleteing it!
  Sleepa

  molly  

I got this file when I installed a Belkin Wireless card and it was using ALL my CPU...I simply reomoved it, my card is still working and my laptop works definitely better!
  BB  

Completely useless file
  Dan Banner  

It showed up when i installed Belkin Wireless LAN software and it constantly ran the CPU at 100% I didn't want to delete it (just in case) so i disabled it at startup using msconfig, this way i could re-enable it if removing it caused problems. I restarted my computer and everything is the same but the CPU is now at 2%
  Luke  

I have just deleted the WinXPDisableZeroConfigation.exe - My cpu has come back to normal and there is no difference in the network connection
  MartinGavin21  

i also have a belkin wireless modem i am not using it, be advised i found the process and am looking for info because its using 99 percent of my procesor
  mario u guzman  

it takes up all my CPU when i login i just exit it and it still works
  adam  

First time its apeared, installed belkin network adaptor about 6 months ago though! Is currently using 98% of cpu time, which is not good on an FX55 as the heat produced is massive and computer shuts down!
  Moley  

I have the same problem (i.e. the process taking up 99% of my CPU power) after installation of a Belkin wireless adapter card. Seemed to appear on my machine when I tried to configure the belkin card with XP tool. No problem with card at all when process is killed, so reccommend killing of the process
  bimbola  

Takes up all cpu usage and slows my laptop down.Has to do with belink wireless network card.Ending process tree stops problem
  Talhah  

It certainly sits in the belkin directory, its takes all of my CPU, until ended, I am in contact with Belkin over it
  N Harrild  

Caused problems already outlined in this thread. Disable it.
  Intrepid  

Runs the cpu at 100%
  Rusty Shackelford  

Not needed if Windows XP's Wireless Zero Configuration service is active
  Charlie Doran  

The program showed up when I installed Belkin wireless LAN. It takes up about 99% of my cpu, dont know why.
  Robert  

Appeared when Belkin wireless LAN installed. File located in Belkin folder along with other LAN files. Process is using approx 50% of a 2.8Ghz CPU!!
  Chuff  

ive renamed the file to WinXPDisableZeroConfigation999.exe for example, in task manager shut down the process and now my laptop works just as normal but without 99% of the CPU constantly being in use. Fast again!!!

The file is a direct result of installing Wireless Network PCI Cards made by Belkin.
   

How can i stop it slowing my machine down. (Just installed new Belkin Wireless PC Card)

Is a known problem with belkin, you can ask microsoft to fix it. It isn't a virus.

used by belkin wireless network card
  minifreak  

it takes a lot of cpu usage, infact all, installed in c:\windows\prefetch and the directory for my belkin wireless card as cooperman said
  jah  

Its a Belkin install thing..do the following..use msconfig and disable or delete belkin and all files and reinstal.
  Nick wade  

Appears when you install Belkin Wireless LAN - and uses 99% of the CPU - killing it does not seem harm the cards operation...
   

Seems to be installed with my Belkin wireless network card software. Keep the CPU very busy, when it should be idle.
   

this file is installed with the software for wireless adapter cards and is used to force xp to use the cards software to configure the wireless network and not windows. But it uses half your cpu usage and is not really needed. after booting up i just end the process in the Windows task manager
  Cobr@  

Its some kind of tool by belkin (producent of networkcards) I removed it and expirenced no problems at all ....my card still worked and my pc got much faster HOW TO REMOVE: search for WinXPDisableZeroConfigation.exe and delete the file....
  Rick Reinders IT student Netherlands  

I have also just recently installed the Belkin Wireless LAN and like yourself this problem started on my machine. It uses 50% CPU and slows my machine down.
