Re: Unwanted registry save

Thanks, Malke and Wesley. I used hive cleanup and no more messages.

That's an Event ID 1517 Userenv Warning.

You may use ERUNT to backup your registry, this error has nothing to with
backing up the registry. The warning means that Windows could not unload
the user's profile because a program was referencing the user's section of
the registry. This locked the profile. The registry cannot unload profiles
that are locked and in use. When the program that is locking the profile is
no longer referencing the registry, the profile will be unloaded.

If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

To automatically install it (you need uphclean-setup.msi):
- Double click the setup.msi

The service is set to automatically start when the computer boots so you
will not need to start it manually.

grok <grok@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I am getting daily messages in my event viewer which say: "Windows saved
user DESKTOP\{myName} registry while an application or service was still
using the registry during log off. ..."

I use ERUNT to save my registry at logon (NOT LOGOFF). I susect that I
still have a windows registry backup running from before I learned about
ERUNT but I cannot figure out how to find it. How can I find if I have
windows scheduled to do registry backups?
