Does XP Help Center phone home?
Left the laptop idle; found it with CPU at 100% and HDD busy. Opened up Process Explorer; found the Help Center service had started up and was very active. I hadn't used the Help Center all day.
Was it talking to Microsoft HQ? There's no entry for auto-updating in its options.
I found an updates log in the relevant folder on C. Last one was in 2004.
Any ideas?
