UPHClean results Question.

[C J.]

After noticing /!\warnings in my event log concerning userenv: "Windows
saved user SELF-DB******F3\Chris registry while an application or service
was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's
registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no
longer in use.", I downloaded UPHClean, and set it up to report where the
problem(s) were found when Closing my profile at logoff.

Below is the resulting info UPHClean logged into event viewer I found after
rebooting:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: UPHClean
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1501
Date: 6/21/2007
Time: 7:25:05 PM
User: SELF-DB******F3\Chris
Computer: SELF-DB******F3
Description:
The following handles opened in user profile hive SELF-DB******F3\Chris

(S-1-5-21-484******-140*******-68200****-1***) are preventing the

profile from unloading:

svchost.exe (896)
HKCU (0x24c)

For more

information, see Help and Support Center at

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

As there is no information at the above link - I'm hoping someone here with
UPHClean knowledge, might be able to explain what is or could be going on
here, and how I can correct this problem.

TIA

Don't set it to report...'cause if you do, it WILL report.

This happens to me all the time.

No ill effects.

My 2 cents: forget about it and get on with your life.

You mean to Microsoft? (Slaps head *$&#) I just thought enabling that in
registry would generate a more detailed report of the problem in event
viewer. Sheesh! No Worries... Its been disabled.

As others have already said, UPHClean will close the handles and you
don't really have to worry about this. If however you do want to know
what is preventing the user from unloading the profile you will have to
use a utility like Process Explorer or Tasklist and save a list of the
different svchosts before you logoff, then you will have to try to find
the culprit from the saved list. The process PID's are never the same
so you can't tasklist them after the fact. Process Explorer is
available from the Microsoft web site. Tasklist is included in Windows
XP. You can send the output of Tasklist to file by using a redirector
and specifing an output file:

Tasklist /SVC >C:\tlist.txt

You can run Tasklist against PID's:

Tasklist 896 >tlist896.txt

Do 3 successive restarts; it'll probably take care of it. If not, it's
really no big deal; it does release it later on.
