User Profile Hive CleanUp

OS: WinXp Pro SP3.
Installed Profile Hive CleanUp service. It is shown in Add or Remove Program
panel as well as in Services (Local), Sysinternals Process Explorer and
Autoruns. However, in Windows Task Manager- Process tab -uphclean.exe does
not show; I thought it should. Am I wrong?
Is uphclean.exe running?

It is a service that you can see when typing "net start" at the Command
Prompt.

If it's not showing in the Task Manager's Processes list it isn't
running. Run the Services Management Console (enter services.msc in the
Start Menu | Run box) and see if the "User Profile Hive Cleanup" service
is running. You can start it there. The service should be set to
"Automatic" startup type.

Dunno, that's not part of Windows XP.
And don't cross post.

The Hive CleanUp service is an add-on to Windows - see here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

There is nothing wrong with cross-posting when done in
moderation (which the OP did) - see here:
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm
The evil lies in multi-posting because it causes duplication
of effort. As far as I can see, the OP did not multi-post
his question.

Encore.

Yes, User Profile Hive Cleanup can be seen (but definitely not in Windows
Task Manager).

Might be something to do with SP3? I have SP2 here, I'll have to
install SP3 to find out...
