How to delete “WebFldrs XP” from Add/Remove Programs?

Wondering what is “WebFldrs XP” and how does it come automatically in my PC?
Issue: in Start–>Run should cause the “show desktop icon” to reappear in quick launch, but it didn’t, it did something through MsInstaller for a couple of seconds, so i went to event viewer and found this event logged: Product WebFldrs XP — Configuration completed successfully. I haven’t noticed any changes in the system, but i would like to know i did, what does this product do, or what does it influence? i’m allergic to activating or installing things i don’t know about, that’s why i even have automatic updates for Windows turned off, i like to study those hotfixes and updates before them being automatically installed on my system.

Resolution: Web Folders, or WebDAV, is a file transfer protocol that supports secure file transfer over intranets and the Internet. With Web Folders, you can upload, download, and manage files on a remote computer across an intranet and the Internet. Web Folders is similar to File Transfer Protocol (FTP); however, Web Folders provides a more secure environment for transferring files over the Web.

If Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) installed (Webfldrs-KB907306-ENU.exe), you will see WebFldrs XP.
