Windows CardSpace

[working hard at home]

After removing corrupted, file Net Framework 2.0. The installation of Net
Framework 3.0 has Program called Cardspace. I have read the white pages
about this but do not see any application for the home user. Could you please
give a good reason why not to delete this file?
Also in the Add/Remove Programs, which files is this? I am thinking it is in
framework 3.0- Service Pack 1 titled Net Framework WCS.
Many Thanks

Wanting to remove this programme\addition\utility myself, I neither could
found how. Short of removing .NET Framework 3.x I may not be removeable. You
can hinder it by going into Control Panel | Services, locate Windows
CardSpace and set it to 'Disable". Stop it if it has been started.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did do that afterreading about Cardspace.!

I'm thinking cardspace is just another minor resource hog. Possible a
privicy threat as well!

In addition to the service "Windows CardSpace" you can disable "Smart Card".
It is not that easy to uninstall completely, as far as I can tell.
