dpmw32.exe - What is it?

[Renée]

Probably a dumb question, but can any of you Win-techs out there tell me what this file is and what it does? It's not life or death, but ZoneAlarm is bugging the crap out of me about whether to let it access the web, and I don't know what to say. No info in System Information except just the filename itself.

Thanks!

Did a search for it on the web and came up with this: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/Forum1/HTML/005384.html

Dpmw32.exe is Novell's Client 32 distributed file and printer sharing. It doesn't co-exist peacefully with most (if not any) of the Windows products. There are a number of ways you can avoid loading it when installing the Novell Client or go to Start->run->msconfig->startup tab-> and uncheck NDPS. Then it won't load on startup.
