Understanding the NetXClean Utility
NetXClean keeps extraneous information from being stored in flash memory. NetXClean
is a service that runs in the background. NetXClean clean-up is triggered by either a
service startup or a user log-off. It performs the clean-up invisibly and no user input is
necessary.
NetXClean prevents garbage files from building up and filling the free space in the flash
(for example, if a flush of some files in the File Based Write Filter cache puts junk in flash
directories that must be kept clean). The NetXClean utility is particularly important when
multiple users have log-on rights to a thin client, as memory space can be quickly used by
locally stored profiles and temporary caching of information.
NetXClean TweakUI functions includes clearing:
• Run history at log-on
• Document history at log-on
• Find Files history at log-on
• Find Computer history at log-on
• Internet Explorer history at log-on
• Last User at log-on
• Selected Items Now
NetXClean purges selected directories, files, and profiles. It uses a configuration file to
determine which directories and files to purge (and what not to purge). To select different
directories and files to purge, you must select them in the configuration file.
Caution
NetXClean purge selections are made by the manufacturer and should not
be changed without manufacturer supervision.
Regardless of the configuration file selections, NetXClean does not clean any of the
following directories or their parent directories:
• Windows directory
• Windows System subdirectory
• Current directory in which the service is installed
NetXClean will not delete the following profiles:
• Administrator
• All Users
• Default User
• The profile of the last user who logged on
