it is used by logitech in their 'setpoint' software for keyboards and mouse. I cannot locate it in my sys32/drivers folder either, so i am hunting for it. (further information...)

something (driver package?) from Vista (vista_rtm.061101-2205) ; i think i installed it with xp SP3

This file prevented my Alps Thinkpad (on a Dell Latitude D630 notebook) from installing the driver (causes a "Fatal Error" during install). Renaming to wdf01000.old will resolve that issue.
