What is this tss.exe application and do I need it? I can find nothing on it. Its in my startup log under C:\WINDOWS\system32\tss.exe. I started getting an error on it at start up after having ran a SPYBOT fix. Thanks

Seems like it's an executable for shell switching in XP. Research turns up the following.
To have the possibility to use different shells for different users you have to login as Administrator and switch shells with Shell Switcher (tss.exe) at least once. TSS will make all necessary changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key of your register. These initial changes are available only from Administrator account. After that you can use TSS to switch shells from any user account.
