Default What is SMRTNTKY?

I found a folder named "SMRTNTKY" in D-drive.
Is that a spyware or essential component of WinXP Pro, SP1 or SP2?
Before deletiing , I want to make sure that it won't cripple mycomputer.

If you want to know if a file is legit /virus and spyware free/ you need to
perform a full scan with up-to-date AV and antispyware.

However ,in your case the file isn't malware and is legit file:
