SP 55035: Remove the LocationFinder program from the Startup folder to help improve system performance

Symptom: The Microsoft LocationFinder is a client-side application that turns a regular WiFi enabled laptop, Tablet or PC into a location determining device without the addition of any separate hardware. This program is a non-essential system process. Removing it from startup can significantly increase your computer’s performance and reliability.
Resolution: This change will examine the system registry and modify the settings to remove the LocationFinder entry from the Startup folder.
