It basically creates the reg entries for IE and it's apps with someone's user profile...whether it's the default profile or someone who logs into the machine. It usually just runs once when a person logs in.

I don't think you're alone is disabling it. We do the same here in our production environment because we want to have the same type of settings in everyone's desktop with this, either a new or old person.
