dot net frame werk

Okeeee... well, anything more one should know about the .NET frame work for XP? good, bad, indifferent?
I downloaded the thing since apparently it's needed to run some newer programs, and then found out it
disabled automatic windows logon, so I had to go to HERE to fix it. Lovely. :D

I hope this info helps anyone who might be in a similar situation, and I hope to hear from folks who
also might know more about this thing.

p.s. This is not a superduper important machine, so I prefer to be automatically logged in ^V^ ...

p.p.s. The program I wanted to run is SharpKeys, to disable the ever-tormenting CapsLock. *flaps wings*
