Event id 1517 userenv windows xp

whenever I check my event viewer I see this event id error 1517 --Userenv/1517. Sure many people see this in xp event viewer

Windows saved user X 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.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the

services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

I downloaded a program called UPHCLEAN.EXE a user profile hive cleanup from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en.

This removed the windows event error 1517 and fixed the problem. Has anyone used this program and whats your opinion on this program. Is this error really a problem and it it necessary to download this program if I have one user id which is administrater and not using roaming profiles. Uphcleane.exe is now a running process in task manager so is it using up my resources. Why is this not part of xp originally

Due to some shutdown problem I've reached the
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837115/en-us

Which indeed talks about my 1517 event.

My specific question: How relevant is this article relevant to my case IF
In My case "Event Type: Error"
In the article "Event Type: Warning"

LOOKING FOR A SPECIFIC ANSWER NOT A GENERAL DESCRIPTION !!!

Thanks

**SYMPTOMS
• You take a long time to log off, and you receive the following message:
Saving settings….
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1517
**Description:
Windows saved user ComputerName\UserName 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. This is caused by services running as a user account, try
configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService
account

**RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the Microsoft User Profile Hive Cleanup Service
(UPHClean). UPHClean monitors the computer while Windows is unloading user
profiles and forces resources that are open to close. Therefore, the
computer can unload and reconcile user profiles.

Mistake in original question:

In My case "Event Type: Error"
In the article "Event Type: Warning"

Should be:

In My case "Event Type: Warning"
In the article "Event Type: Error"

Hi,

You are looking for a specific answer to a general question. A 1517 event is
generic in nature, it does not indicate any one specific thing is wrong,
just that "something" is. Is it relevant to your shutdown issue? Probably,
as the system cannot shutdown until the user is logged off. Have you tried
running uphclean as is suggested?

Due to the fact that in my case "Event Type: Warning" and in the article
"Event Type: Error" I did not run the uphclean...

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.
