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

Dunno, that's not part of Windows XP.

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.

The Hive CleanUp service is an add-on to Windows - see here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1B286E6D-8912-4E18-B570-42470E2F3582&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.

Yes, User Profile Hive Cleanup can be seen (but definitely not in Windows

It is, John. But it is definitely not showing in windows Task Manager.

"Services" are not "Tasks", hence they never show up in the Task Manager.

Hi YoKenny.

Since we can rule out the SP3 issue, any clues as to why uphclean doesn't
show up in my Task Manager Process list?
Please refer to my original post as well.

Re-download and run its installer application:

I'm not sure what you mean by that, Pegasus. Most started services show
up in the Task Manager's Processes list, maybe you were thinking of
something else?

OK, I did that.

I uninstalled and re-installed the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service and am
happy to report that uphclean.exe is showing in Windows Task Manager -
Processes panel (Admin Account).
However, when switching to the Limited User Account the entry is missing.
Please, how can I add uphclean.exe to Windows Task Manager - Processes panel
in Limited User Account?

Under limited, can you "see" SYSTEM processes? If not allowed, you won't
see uphclean.exe.

Here are a couple of typical services:
Help and Support
Windows Time
Neither of those will show up in the Task Manager. There are, of course,
some services that have an associated executable. The executable will
be visible in the Task Manager (and you might be able to kill it) but the
service won't.

I see what you mean. Some of hose would be run inside of Services.exe
or one of the svchost.exe.

Here is a complete list (ImageNames) as displayed in Windows Task Manager -
Processes tab (Limited User Account).

Image Name User Name
TimeZone.exe Ibex
egui.exe Ibex
MouseElf.exe Ibex
igfxpers.exe Ibex
MSASCui.exe Ibex
notepad.exe Ibex
explorer.exe Ibex
winlogon.exe SYSTEM
csrss.exe SYSTEM
taskmgr.exe Ibex
wlmail.exe Ibex
opera.exe Ibex

In Windows Task Manager - Processes tab (Admin Account) the Image Name/User
Name:

uphclean.exe SYSTEM is listed.

Does this mean that User Profile Hive CleanUp utility is running in both
Admin *and* Limited User accounts?

I would have thought that uphclean.exe would show in Windows Task Manager -
Processes tab (Limited User Account) as well.

Either that is an antiquated NT Resource Kit command line utility or
it's a third party utility, in any case it isn't a standard Windows XP
service and it isn't really relevant to the point that Pegasus made.

Why would you need to have this running on the machine?

TimeZone.exe has nothing to do with the Windows Time service.

this is a really sad, frustrating thread to reckoning.
Unless I missed it, no one has bothered to remark upon the various features
of Task Manager.

For example, let's consider the analogy of someone gone missing. You see,
JoeSchmoe has been stuffed mostly into the 'trunk' of my vehicle. JaneDoe has
been told that JoeSchmoe will be found in my vehicle, but when she peers
inside cabin, the subject is nowhere to be found! But alas-- indeed, he is
there, is he not? Had she opened the trunk, she could have laid claim to
finding him there, as told.

Now that I've got your attention, has the Enquiring User surveyed the
various tabs of Windows Task Manager, to confirm that a sign of his/her
elusive bin is indeed not present? My personal preference is to click the
Applications tab, and set that view to 'Large Icons', subsequently dragging
the size of the WTM window, leaving it broad and tall (e.g. the TaskManager
is more friendly to me when resized to about a 1024x768-sized window, under a
1280 res). Under this configuration, when I click the 'Processes' tab, it is
quite obvious to me that I am no longer viewing the current Applications,
since I see no obnoxiously large icons, but only a long list of running
processes, many unfamiliar names which would make for an excellent list of
vocabulary words for the novices here.
