Guest Roland A. Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 In Task Manager, I've noticed a prgm. running, Apache.exe. Actually, two instances are running. I've searched and found this: C:\WINDOWS.0\Prefetch\APACHE.EXE-1BDF0C46.pf Suspecting the file's purpose, I compressed it into a .rar file and deleted the original. But still, everytime I reboot, the two instances of Apache.exe are seen in Task Manager. Is this file part of windows? R.A.
Guest JS Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Re: XP & Apache.exe Apache is used to host web pages. So unless you are using your PC to host or develop web pages it should not be there.

It's a very high-quality product, used by huge numbers of web sites. Many web developers have a copy of Apache on their machines so that they can test their web pages before uploading them to their web hoster. If it's been installed on your machine, there should be an entry for it in the "Add or Remove Programs" Control Panel applet. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
