An Interesting Tool...

UPHClean



Sometimes I find it odd that certain things are not just added to the operating system instead of being released as seperate and sometimes hard to find tools.



UPHClean is one of these tools. We were experiencing an issue with some of our desktop machines where it would "lock up" at log in or log out. After much research and head scratching, I stumbled across a tool by Microsoft called UPHClean. What was happening is that users' profiles were not unloading properly and thus tieing up memory that should have been released at log off. UPHClean recognizes this and properly unloads this memory anyway.



My question is why didn't Microsoft just make this piece of software part of the log off procdure? I am sure they have a great reason as always...
