Windows 2003 (and not Windows .NET)! Go figure :)

I don't know when or how or why this has happened, but here's the story. I'm usint WinNT 2000 Server, IIS 5 and have CF 5 and CFMX installed on this machine. I do a lot of development on this machine, and by and large, I expect the applications I develop to behave in predictable ways. ASP.NET has in some viral way changed that order of things. I've noticed in my registry that there are now a number of references to ASP.NET and aspnet_* directories. I've never knowingly installed anything related to ASP.NET on this machine. I'm not saying that I wouldn't have, I just haven't. They could have gotten in piggy-backed on a Windows update, sure. But here's the really big / stupid part of this ordeal. In one particular application which I use to manage my website at http://www.turnkey.to ( in addition to managing the documentation for the application ), Microsoft has for some reason known only to them decided that this application should have some ASP.NET features. It added the directory: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\new epoch\tapestry43e\aspnet_client which appears to contain only 2 subdirectories and three small javascript libraries: system_web\1_0_3705_288\SmartNav.js system_web\1_0_3705_288\SmartNavIE5.js system_web\1_0_3705_288\WebUIValidation.js These are not now nor have the ever been components of my application. They serve no purpose here that I know of. So why would M$ arbitrarily decide that this was needed here? I deleted them once already and they grew back, so I know they're being automatically generated by someone else's crap software. I've never really trusted Microsoft anyway, but it reminds me to never, EVER, use my computers to store sensitive personal information, for any reason or under ANY circumstances. Microsoft / Yahoo Wallet, yea, right, that'll happen. This time it was javascript libraries -- what will it be next time? How much of my work will it destroy? How much of my life will it invade?
