It's only installed when you run the EXE for the 'driver' installation and it is NOT needed if you use Windows Wireless Zero Config to manage your wireless device. Uninstall the wirelss manager (Linksys in my case) from the add/remove programs in control panel, and then install the driver from the 'directory' created (c:\Linksys Driver - in my case) and the device will work correctly   MusicMeister - AKA Ed Spencer If you know more about WLService.exe, share your knowledge and help other users.
