Could resetting Winsock cause problems?

Win7 on a Toshiba laptop.
Was getting ‘Desktop refers to a location that’s unavailable’, OK after reboot. Seems may be caused by always logging on as Administrator, so changed my login to standard and set up a separate admin user.
Now have had ‘Win cannot connect to the ‘System Event Notification Server’. Again OK after a reboot but a possible solution is to reset Winsock.
Am happy to do this (may even fix my connection issues) however, just wanted some reassurance this won’t cause further problems.

If the winsock registry key is corrupt, resetting will repair it. If it's not, no changes will be made. So you've got nothing to lose by trying it.
