Windows Vista MSN Connection Center!

Hello all. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit edtion. As many of you Windows Vista users are aware of there is a folder in C:\Program Files and its called MSN. Upon going into that folder there is an installer file called cclitesetupui. Its an installer for MSN Connection Center. My question is what is MSN Connection Center used for and do I really need to install it? Is it necessary? If not, is there a way to delete the installer? I have tried deleting the file but it won't delete no matter what I try. So I was wondering if its not necessary for my computer can I somehow delete the file? Its things like this that Microsoft does that **** me off and I am just curious as to why Microsoft would embed files into an OS that you don't need or use. Anyway I would appreciate any comments and/or suggesstions about my question.

 

Does anyone have any insight as to what MSN Connection Center is used for? Thanks for any help.

 

Google is your friend ....

What is Connection Center?

 

Thanks PeteC. Now that I know what its used for, I probably won't use it or need it since its seems somewhat useless. Is there any way to delete the installer for it? Or is it intregrated into the OS with no chance of removal. If its part of the OS with no chance of removal then I will have to live with it I suppose. Let me know if there is a way to remove it or not. Thanks for your time and patience.

I am not running Vista, but I am constantly bemused by folk who ferret through their drives and want to delete files which appear to them to be useless. My advice - leave well alone - I am sure you will not notice the extra drive space gained through deleting

 

Thanks for your response PeteC. I will leave the file alone. I was just curious as to why the installer was there and what it was used for. So I will leave it alone and not mess with it since I won't really gain any disc space from deleting it anyway. Anyway thanks again for your time and effort.

 

Oh. Wow that explains a lot. Now I understand why Microsoft put the MSN Connection Center installer into the Windows Vista OS in the first place. Thanks for the insight Charles. That was most informative.
