I tried looking up Certificate Services Client on MS site and it's impenetrable whether I need this thing for everyday Vista use. I'm not running a web server or MS database app. All I know is it's one of the last remaining Scheduled Tasks that wants to run my HD on forever once it kicks off(forever meaning longer than 5 minutes even if the PC is not idle.) It's a PITA waiting around to burn a DVD or whatever for this thing to quit when I don't know what it does. I just hate to shut stuff off trial and error fashion. :)

edit: additional info. I'm on a 2 PC home Lan. Not a domain. Don't see that I need Roaming and all that but you never know with Windows.
