I noticed I had UPNP framework enabled on my XP system. I googled around and found a lot of verbosity about it that referred to what it did in very theoretical terms but never explained exactly what would really bad things might happen if it was disabled, what programs might stop working, etc. &nbsp;I would appreciate knowing why I shouldn't disable it? &nbsp;

upnp framework

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
