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!
