it starts with some adobe software, and is related to licensing purposes

On the Windows 2000/XP operating system the license manager is installed as a manually started, LocalSystem service named “Macromedia Licensing Service”. An additional process related to the license manager is called “~e5d141.tmp”. Two instances of this process are present when a Macromedia application is running.

It started showing up in my task manager as ~es.001. I think it loaded when I installed Civ IV.
Not taking up much resources. Remember that XP is smart when managing memory. If you need those 5mb RAM buy more sticks.
Chris
Process starts with certain Macromedia programs (such as Flash MX 2004) and is related to the licencing manager. File is not a threat.

It is not a spyware, but i found it while searching my pc for the xpladv.wmf,, this xpladv is spread all over the crack sites, be careful.

this file is called from a game executable or a safedisc (v2.9 on sim city4 deluxe) protected program that checks for authenticity of the disc or license. It is made by Macrovision and the program is called cleanup. It is the actuall program that is executing when you see the box pop up and say "Please insert the correct CD"
Lukass
It does slow things down. I've tried to get rid of it but so far I've failed. However, If you right click it in Task Manager and set priority to low, it's disruptive effect isn't as bad
Macromedia app of some sort, runs with a lot of maxis games and other apps
ashna
I determined the mysterious ~e5d141.tmp to be associated with the Macrovision SafeCast licensing manager, and employed by some popular programs such as Macromedia Dreamweaver MX and Adobe Photoshop CS.
badger
appeared when i had FS2004 running
JimBob
This file is pretty much pointless in its entirety... if you want to delete it you can... its usually gonna be in the temporary folder... its a hidden folder btw... after you delete it...it shouldn't come back...but if it does you can delete it again if you want...

As mentioned, it is part of a license check for some programs. It will NOT cause damage and will only slow your processing at startup license check while reading the CD.

Starts with FS2004, Using Task Manager to disable also shuts down FS 2004. Causes FS2004 to use 98% of CPU, Therefore, FS2004 crashes.
