Your SSDP problems should disappear if you uninstall
Universal Plug and Play
(UPNP) from Add/Remove Programs (please note that this is
NOT related to
Windows PlugnPlay!!)

Neither UPNP nor SSDP is listed in Add/Remove Programs.
Only SSDP is listed in System Configuration Utility (SCU)
Startup, as c:\windows\system\ssdpsvr.exe De-selecting
this item does not stop explorer.exe trying to connect to
the Internet. C:\recover.exe is 'named' in SCU Startup
as 'mmsys'.

There is a 'display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv' listed in SCU
System.ini boot. And there are UPNP .dlls and .infs in
Windows/System folders.

I tried _installing_ SSDP in Add/Remove without success,
but this brought up an attempt by SSDP to connect to the
Internet.

Partial conclusion: SSDP is not yet fully installed - it
just wants to be, via the server (ssdpsvr.exe).

What is the best way to completely remove UPNP and
windows\system\ssdpsvr.exe, and anything associated?

Thanks.
P.S. will definitely do SysRestore next!

You are now bringing a whole new ballgame into the court -
and I would
seriously suggest getting SR right, before anything else -
otherwise you may
have no safety-net to fall back on.
