event id 1517 userenv problem in windows xp pro.

Dear experts ,
                          i have one system running windows xp pro , in event viewr under application its giving this error i.e:-
Event Type:      Warning
Event Source:      Userenv
Event Category:      None
Event ID:      1517
Date:            6/12/2007
Time:            5:02:34 PM
User:            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:      USER-F601973758
Description:
Windows saved user USER-F601973758\User 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.

If this is your situation you can ignore it.

what solved this for me is to install uphclean
User Profile Hive Cleanup Service
One of the most common complaints among Windows 2000 and XP users is that it takes too long for a user to log off. Sometimes this is a symptom of other problems; the user profile does not unload or a user's roaming profile does not reconcile. The most extreme version of this problem is when the user attempts to log off and an error is logged indicating that the registry has reached its maximum size.

The most common event log that indicates a problem is an event ID 1000 or 1500 with the description "Windows cannot unload your registry file." This error is not fatal, but it is problematic, and it should be corrected before it becomes chronic.
Microsoft has created a tool, UPHCLEAN (User Profile Hive Cleanup Service), that allows the system to monitor applications that access the user registry hives, and determine if an application has left keys open at logoff. If this happens, UPHCLEAN will log the application name and the keys in question, release the keys in question and complete the logoff process. This will not only allow users to log off cleanly, but also allow the problem application to be flagged.
