    hi,

    I have recently reinstalled my x64 Vistas, updated, installed SP1, and other SW that Im using (nothing different than I had on before reinstall). However, when I open "Network" window, there is an icon of "Microsoft Publication Service Device Host", that I cannot get rid of. If I double click it, microsoft.com opens up. I have found some other forums, where they had the same problem, but they never found a solution. does anyone has any idea, what that icon is, how can I get rid of it? its not just about the icon, my network file sharing is not working at all.... the icon appeared after installing some updates after SP1 was on (I put SP1 on, then downloaded the rest from internet). thanks for any help
