Running W2KPro, Intel mb, ADSL with router and firewall, av etc. When I do a regclean on the puter, I find there are many entries for C:\Windows\Tracing. Doing a search on Google gives me information that this is used by the OS for debugging etc. on drivers or whatever. Since I do not use debugging myself, or engage in coding at all, is there a legitimate reason why I have to or should have this running? Can it be removed safely? With what consequences? It has not caused any problems, but at the same time, I like to run a clean machine, and this would apprear - to me - as being unnecessary.

Any comments or information would be appreciated.
