Caution

• Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.
  
  

• Only administrators can run cprofile.
  
  
• A terminal server uses file associations to determine which application to use to access files of various types. File types are registered using Windows Explorer.
  
  
• Per-user file associations allow each user to have a different application associated with a specific file type. For example, one user could have .doc files associated with Microsoft Word and another user could have .doc files associated with Windows WordPad.
  
  
• If user-specific file associations are enabled, cprofile only removes the unused space from the user profile. If user-specific file associations are disabled, cprofile also removes the corresponding registry entries.
