SUMMARY
CPROFILE cleans the specified profiles of wasted space and removes user-
specific file associations from the registry when the file associations are
disabled. Profiles that are currently in use will not be modified.

cprofile [/l] [/i] [/v] [/?] filelist

associations.

/i
Interactively prompts the user with each profile.
/v (verbose)

/?
Displays the syntax for the command and information about the command's
options.
Security Restrictions

CPROFILE -- Additional Notes
File associations allow users to associate a specific application with a
specific file type. File association allows the Terminal Server to know
what application to use to access files of a particular type. File types
are registered using 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 Word Viewer.
User-specific file associations are disabled by executing peruser /disable.
If the user-specific file associations are not disabled, cprofile removes
only the wasted space from the user's profile. When items are removed from
a user's profile, the corresponding registry does not reduce in size.
Cprofile is useful in clearing wasted space from the registry.
Note: This command will not modify profiles that are currently in use.
