Youre correct in saying that user profile utility would run in the

however it doesnt use much of system resources..Maybe run the program
a time or two,then uninstall it,see if it at least gets youre pc headed in

right direction.Also,to end a proccess that "hangs" running,when it
should'nt,
go to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\controlpanel\
desktop,L.click on AutoEndTasks,go to edit,modify,set to 1 From 0 Close out
regedit.Youre pc log-off & restart will be w/o problems,& much quicker.

Hi to everyone in the news group.
It's about a couple of weeks that my Event Viewer log report to me an
application type warning like that:

Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use
by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it
is no longer in use.

Why?
I surfed the net looking for a reasonable solution and I found a
Microsoft help and support article that give a pretty good explanation
abut that.
Basically what the article said is to download and install "UPHClean".
What I have understood is that it'll be a service running in
background mode that should clean old registry keys and may be unload
third-party programs that don't want hang off by them self.

What I want to know is: Am I right? I mean, Am I pointing in the
"only" reasonable solution? or instead of install one more bloody
service I can fix the annoying problem in a different way?

Hope someone in this form had the same problem of me.
Thanks in advantage for the all help I hope to receive for someone in
the group.
Bye,
Stefano.


Hi Andrew,
thanks for your reply.

I'm quoting you:

What you exactly mean?
Is that a sort of workaround to fix my issue or what else?

It most likely won't do anything to fix your problem. Are you getting an End Task dialog box telling you that an application isn't responding? No? Then the AutoEndTasks will probably not do anything for you.

Your understanding and assessment of UPHClean service is correct, if event IDs 1000, 1500, 1517, 1524 are logged in the Application log the UPHClean service is usually effective and it is the easiest way of correcting the problem. It does run as an additional service but other than consuming a small amount of memory it won't make any noticeable difference to your machine's performance. See here for more information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837115

If you don't want the service running in the background you will have to do some sleuthing and see if you can find which application or service is preventing the profile from unloading, if you can find the faulting application or service you will be able to take other measures. UPHClean can also be used to find the faulting process, see here for more information: http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/8/7/a87b3d05-cd04-4743-a23b-b16645e075ac/readme.txt
