• My NTUSER.dat file is 7 860 Ko and I don't have enough space in my C drive, I can remove it?

  I have windows XP.  My hard drive is partitioned into C & D drives.  Most of my programs is on drive C and have therefore, swallowed up all the space.  I moved more data on the D drive as possible.  I was wondering what I can remove the ntuser.dat file to free up space?

  No, you do not want to delete the file.

  See for a description that is easy to understand the file and its purpose - http://www.ehow.com/about_6697490_ntuser-dat-file_.html

  I presume that you have run the Disk Cleanup tool... did you also remove all but the last system restore point (see related article)?

• Ntuser.dat locked by system after log off

  tons of stuff on the internet about this but no real difficulty. We currently use roaming profiles on a 2 k 3 Server for our Citrix configuration. We met the issue of temporary profiles created because the ntuser.dat file is locked by the system in their ordinary account profile. This has actually been a problem for several years to the contract and I am now cleaning.

  We have the GPO to set to point to a share to store profile data, refers to the configuration of the roaming profile.

  first thing I noticed was tons of SID keys under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Profile list. I deleted all these keys and profiles on the servers of applications under Docs & settings. now on the first login my account has been created on the server, SID created key. after disconnection of application, he removed key SID in the registry, writes data to the profile on hand but profile left on application server because ntuser.dat has been locked. then, the next time you connect, it starts to create profiles of temperature.

  Maybe it's a little much info for the real problem at hand, but I wanted to explain the Setup here incase it helps.

  does anyone have a solution for this?
  UPHClean is not an option because we use roaming profiles. they are always locked.

  or does anyone have a script that I could use that force a version of the log off?

  any info would be much appreciated. Thank you guys

• What is ntuser.dat.LOG1 file under users > by default

  I have a USER. 1Ko DAT file; I also have a ntuser.dat.Log1 of 45KO files. and an another ntuser.dat.Log2 1 file KB.

  I think I could have done something to change the configuration of the way in which services are started to make the 45KO file.  Is this necessary?  Can I delete it?

  These files are under users > default

  These files are normal.    To hide, go to Control Panel > Folder Options > view and select do not show hidden files, folders, .

  I mentioned services.msc and msconfig because I thought that the original poster was asking how to set up the way the services are started.  They have nothing to do with the files that you see. Steve Winograd, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience)

  Hello

  I would backup several times using different methods like a couple of backups in the
  external and backup of important data on a DVD - safety in numbers. Then re-install Windows
  as he came on the system. The upgrade would be unwise and may not work with a system
  who has problems.

  Your system as it is now may be fixable without reinstalling by technical support
  However, a new installation should also address these issues.

• Ntuser.dat.LOG files are important to include in a backup to transfer files to a new computer?

  Ntuser.dat.LOG files are important to include in a backup that is used to transfer files to a new computer? When you try to backup or copy files I get the message that these files (there are 4 of them) cannot be saved or copied because they have already opened and used on the computer. A single file is 256 KB and another has 0 KB. Can not see the other two

  Hi MAnnetteFox,

  Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

  You do not need to take backup of these files and they are normal files that will be generated.

• Access ntuser.dat.log in NETWORK services folder refused even in safe MODE

  I try to accessntuser.dat.log in the file services NETWORK even in safe MODE but not private.  I am logged in as ADMINISTRATOR.  I guess that's the case as well if I connected any other user?

  I looked in the MGR TASK to try and identify what process this block, but I am at a loss.  Anyone know which circles I need to pass through power to life this file?

  Guessing that you mean this file:

  c:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService

  You cannot open the file because XP is running and the file is in use and the Task Manager will not help you indicate what (s) blocking process your effort to open the file (it is not what is the Task Manager for).

  Sometimes, you can copy a file open and then open the copy, but it will not work with ntuser.dat.log and your efforts to access the file will give results like:

  

  

  

  If you want to open the file, you can open a session under a different name and access the file of ntuser.dat.log of another user in this way (since the other user will not in use).

  For example, if I am logged on as user ElderK I can't access my ntuser.dat.log file but I can access the file owned by another user as Jose in looking here:

  c:\Documents and Settings\Jose

  Or, you can start on something like a Hiren Boot CD and access the file from there since your XP will not work.

  I see no reason to watch the ntuser.dat.log file is binary data, then maybe you can tell us what you're trying to do and why (or you just practice).

  Possibilities...

  Right click / Rename the file, and then delete.

  Move the file to another folder and then delete...

  You may delete the file after a reboot

• NTUSER.dat became visible

  I had recently run Registry Mechanic and I noticed he put a. RRR and. File RMBAK in my home/user folder. He also made visible/hidden no NTUSER.dat. Is this normal? I deleted Registry Mechanic, but the files remain.

  Why you bother with a product like Registry Mechanic snake oil? This 'problem' you were hoping it would solve?
  "Registry cleaners" are not worth bored with.
