What does 1XCONFIG.EXE do?

[UCI_MECH]

Anybody knows about this process "1XCONFIG.EXE"? It runs all the time and takes about 9 MB memory.

This is what I found on Google:

"1xconfig.exe is installed alongside multimedia hardware products for Shuttle and SCM MicroSystems. This proces provides an easy-access traybar tool for diagnostics and information regarding these products."
"System Tray background task which gets installed by the drivers for Shuttle Technology products (now part of SCM MicroSystems). SCM MicroSystems is an OEM manufacturer - that is, it makes/assembles the original products which are then sold under various badges by other companies (e.g. DataFab,Hewlett-Packard, Apple, etc..). The products include USB card readers, USB CD-Writers, USB Zip or Flash Drives, USB LS-120 drives, etc.. ICONFIG sits in the System Tray and its sole purpose seems to be to provide connection and status info about your USB device."

I wondered the same thing. I believe the typical use is to make sure external USB drives and similar devices are properly recognized and set up when you plug them in. I haven't tried disabling the service to see if it is critical or not.

It is part of IBM Access Connections or Intel Wireless driver. It is used to set some wireless settings (like antennae power saving, but I'm not sure).
