Yes, apps can place items in System32. I have four .ocx files from a
program in System32. I am not going to look for more.

DataStore.edb will get created again when you visit Windows Updates.

DataStore.edb probably cannot be deleted with Automatic Updates running,
which I keep Disabled except for on Update Tuesdays.

The only down side that I see to deleting all of that crap from
SoftwareDistribution is that Windows Updates takes longer. It has to load
all of the crap again. But since SP1 is about to go unsupported, sod 'em.

ARCserveIT 6.61 does not successfully back up files that are in the
%Windir%\SoftwareDistribution folder of your Windows XP SP2-based computer

You cannot back up the %windir%\SoftwareDistribution folder by using the
NovaStor NovaNet-WEB backup program on Windows XP Service Pack 2

*.esb = Exchange Data Base files.

esent.dll is the Server Database Storage Engine. Automatic Updates
(wuauclt.exe) & Windows Update AutoUpdate Engine (wuaueng.dll) use it.

I agree, it takes forever for Microsoft Update to load these days. That's why I don't bother with updates until they've piled up
enough (I don't really need them right away anyway, I've got so much security software that I can let patches slip for quite a
while. If there's something that's super-duper, hyper, mega critical, I'll know about it one way or another and will update,
otherwise, meh.)

But since SP1 is about to go unsupported, sod 'em.

Again, I agree. If Vista comes with a WMP >8 (9+), then I'm not going to get it. lol Hmmm, what else did I hate about SP2, I
don't remember anymore…

I have Windows Media Player 6.4.9.1125 and 9.0.0.2980. As far as I remember
XP SP1 came with both.

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe 6.4.9.1125
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe 9.0.0.2980

Nope. I'm wrong. XP SP1 came with Windows Media Player 6.4.9.1125 and
8.0.0.4490

C:\WINDOWS\RegisteredPackages\{B3C1B200-8F14-4C49-96D3-67425AD59914}\wmplaye
r.exe8.0.0.4490

Must have updated to WMP9 along the way. Yup, 10 September, 2004.

I think that Windows Vista comes with WMP10.

Yes, Vista will come with at least 10, if not 11 (it will also come with DX10). XP comes with WMP8, SP1 merely patches it, and SP2
forces an upgrade to 9; that's a large part of why I avoid SP2 (there were a few others).
