MPREXE.exe
(Microsoft)
This is the Windows Multiple Provider Router. This program allows Windows 9x/ME to have more than one network client, protocol, or adapter its function is to route network requests between the different adapters and clients. On Novell NetWare networks, MPREXE will sometimes hang on boot-up or logon depending on the particular software mix on the PC concerned. In our experience most MPREXE problems on a Novell network are resolved through both upgrading the network card drivers and moving to at the very least version 3.32 SP1 of the Novell Client for Win9x/ME. The likelihood of the problem is also significantly reduced if you pare down your Network configuration to only those protocols that you will actually need, as per the recommendations of our Network Troubleshooting document in our "Hottest Tips" library.
Recommendation :
None MPREXE runs transparently and will only appear in your Ctrl+Alt+Del Task List if there is a problem that has caused it to hang; it will not show otherwise and you will have to run a program like Starter to see it running transparently. Therefore, if it shows in your Ctrl+Alt+Del list you know you have problems that you will need to resolve.
