Re: Windows XP will not shut down

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Bill,

Is uphclean.exe running?

Look in Task Manager, Ctrl + Shift + Delete, click the Processes tab.

Look in Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click User Profile Hive Cleanup |
Set to Automatic under Startup type | Click the Start button if not started

I downloaded UPHC and it still will not shut down after saving settings. I
do not get any of the error messages you spoke of, much the less any error
messages. It just will not cut off unless I do it manually. Any other
suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the tip. I will run it immediately and let you know.

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.

The last 2 weeks XP Professional will not completely shut down after
getting to the point of saving my settings. The cursor will still
work, but it will not cut off unless I do it manually. Once I got a
sgtray.exe error message. I have service pack 2 plus latest upgrades
via automatic download. Any suggestions?
