Command-line switches /cleanprofile

[Raj Pillai]

Hi,

From http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP010031101033.aspx --

<<< /cleanprofile - Removes invalid profile keys and recreates default
registry keys where applicable. >>>

I am a little curious to know what does this statement mean. Assuming I
have only one profile -

* What would it do if I ran this switch.
* Would it remove the settings of the profile? And what are the "profile
keys" it is referring to?
* Scenarios when I will need to use this switch ?

Anyone tried using it? Thanks for your inputs !!

It's referring to the keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
