Hi Charles,



UPHClean now installed and logging the following errors:



Event Type: Information

Event Source: UPHClean

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1501

Date: 18/08/2005

Time: 16:32:11

User: <DOMAINNAME>\<username>

Computer: <DOMAINNAME>5

Description:



The following handles opened in user profile hive <DOMAINNAME>\<username>
(S-1-5-21-3513629081-3873135916-3088626867-1364) are preventing the profile
from unloading:



svchost.exe (888)

HKCU (0x3a0)






How can I tell what application is causing this?

Thanks,
Nick
