It is an importent tool to register dll's with windows 2003 servers. To install Ifilter.dlls on sharepoint server for example. But i think its not importent to have store it on a home desktop ....

It is a Windows executeable that registers programs in the registry (DLLs).

every time i install a program my firewall asks to allow or deny microsoft register service. It registers the program. I updated an application, and the program was going to delete the program before installing the update but I chose to deny microsoft register server (regsvr32) and the dialog box indicating it would uninstall then reinstall the program went away when i selected the deny microsoft register service. It updated the application without uninstalling it. otherwise I would have had to pay for the upgrade.
