"Rockwell Software Hardware Maintenance Tool"

[plastic 0]

I was defragging, and looking around under the hood of my company laptop. When I went to Contol Panel\Add Remove Programs, if I SORT by SIZE then "Rockwell Software Hardware Maintenance Tool" shows up as the BIGGEST HOG at 992mb. What is it? Can I remove it? We use: RSLogix 5000 RSLogix 500 RSLogix 5 RSLinx RSView ME RS Networkx Panelbuilder and blah, blah, blah But if I press Start\Programs\Rockwell Software\... I can't even find "Hardware Maintenance tool????

Man yours is tiny - I just check and my Rockwell Software hardware maitnenance tool shows up as 2,234 MB. It is the EDS Maintenance Tool you can click the Change/Remove button from Control Panel -- Add Remove Software. I'd advise against removing since you'll most likely delete all your EDS files when you do. Hopefully one of our RA "official" members can shed more light on this.
