    looks to me like a wireless lan config program.

    is it in your start up folder?
    The orginal post in this thread has a very very slim chance of being about money saving. The post is more than likely to ask a question that google could answer better than any of us.

    found this on another site,hope it helps

    Here's the link:
    http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/tech/faqs...en&stamp=565A5F

    Which leads to a link that looks like this:

    Part No: Title
    f5d7050: Wlancfg.exe error message.

    Here's the text behind Wlancfg.exe error message:

    *********************************************************
    Part Number F5D7050

    Question: I keep seeing an error message with this file, how do I resolve this?

    Resolution:
    1. Uninstall the Software from add/remove programs in the Control Panel.
    2. Go into the Windows services list and verify that the Windows Zero Configuration service is set to automatic and has been started.
    3. Unplug the adapter and reboot the PC.
    4. Plug the adapter back in. If Windows nags for a driver, point it to the CD included with the adapter.

    You can now configure the wireless adapter from your Windows control panel. The Belkin utility will not be installed.
