Error message

[mike carrington]

When I run Symantic's One Button Checkup I get an error message that
....\SharedDLLs refers to a fissing file, "C:\Documents and Settings \ my
name\Application Data\Microsoft\MSDAIPP\Offline\h". I've been led to
believe that this might also be affecting Windows Media Player which isn't
working. Is this "...\MSDAIPP\Offline\h" a file that I can download from
somewhere? I did a search on the Microsoft web site but didn't understand
what the heck it returned to me.

I'm running XP, SP-2, latest updates via DSL. Thanks for any help you can
give me in advance!

I doubt that it has anything to do with Windows Media Player.

I have two files in %appdata%\Microsoft\MSDAIPP\Offline

0x00000001_R with no extension.
and
HashFile.dat

Apparently the w3svc service (World Wide Web Publishing Service service)
uses this folder.

If the w3svc service is not running you do not need the files. If the w3svc
service is started again, it will recreate the files.

Some info from here...

Microsoft Internet Information Service also uses that folder. So does
Exchange Server.

There is also a virus that can be related to HashFile.dat.

I doubt that you need the World Wide Web Publishing Service running, it
makes your system to act as an WWW server.
