MS User Profile Hive Cleanup Service

XP Pro_SP3

I downloaded this app after reading about it in a computer magazine in the early days of XP.
Never needed it until now. I thought I was an advanced Registry hacker, but the "readme.txt"
included with the install is not what the reviewer description at CNET suggests. The quote
is "well-written help file, which does a good job covering the app." It that were true, I wouldn't
be asking for help at MSFN.

My system shutdown is unpredictable. Sometimes it happens quickly. Occasionally, I wait
minutes, not seconds.

I can create a simple or complex shutdown or reboot script built around any group of Windows
processes. An app like Sysinternals AutoRuns lists every possible process that may or may not
be running on your computer.

Instead of tinkering endlessly with UPHClean, isn't there an applet I could include in a script
that will simply terminate all hanging processes before shutdown?
