Does anyone know what the "Protected Storage" service on a Windows NT workstation is for?  I am getting an error message in the event viewer:  Protected Storage error:  5, OpenSCManager failed.  Can I disable this service?
 
It is a security service used mainly by IIS and IE...did you recently install or update Internet Explorer or install the NT Option Pack?<br><br>You may want to try re/applying the latest NT Service Pack. <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
