Guest JohnThePresenter Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I must express my thanks for the effectiveness of UPHclean (User Process Hive Cleaner), downloadable from MS page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1B286E6D-8912-4E18-B570-42470E2F3582&displaylang=en For months I have been suffering from very slow "Saving Settings" during shutdown, invariably when I am in a hurry to lock up my laptop and go home. A bunch of web searches revealed that this is normally due to user processes holding on to the registry. Vey good - but bfinding out which process was to blame proved very difficult - I could not see how to get this info from Event Viewer. I finally found the UPHClean download, and it worked like a dream. One minute of saving settings has become about three seconds. Nothing seems to happen when you run it except a brief command window popup, but don't be fooled, it has set up the hive cleaner and it will subsequently work automatically.
