After the initial release of Profile Nurse in december 2008 we've received a lot of positive feedback. We've been able to fix some minor bugs that occurred and relase the new version with this article. Details of the fixed issues and the available download are listed in History and Download.
Besides bug fixing we're always looking for ways to improve the functionality of Profile Nurse. You can help us by writing comments to this blog article, describing what you are missing when working with the tool or what you would find useful.
One example would be a new feature to rename registry objects. This may come in handy when a registry key or value describes a network location and this location has changed. A simple example is the migration from one print server to another. The printer connections are stored in HKCU\Printers\Connections in the format ,,servername,printername, where the comma replace backslashes in the network location identifier. Migrating the print server would then be a simple registry key renaming operation in Profile Nurse.
We're looking forward to hearing other proposals from Profile Nurse users.

Hello, Great tool guys,
Hello,
Great tool guys, thanks for all the hard work. I'm just wondering if there is a way to create exclusions when deleting directories. Here is an example of what I want to do. I would like to delete Profile\AppData\local and all its subdirectories but not Profile\AppData\local\Microsoft\Credentials for instance. Is this possible in the tools present form?
Thanks again,
Luke
Hi Luke, thank you for the
Hi Luke,
thank you for the appreciation. Currently exclusion lists are not supported.
However I will add your suggestion to the list of features that will be considered for my next version.
Kind regards,
Profile Nurse
Is there a way to use the
Is there a way to use the RegistryQueryValue syntax to output the actual value of a registry key? For troubleshooting purposes, i'm curious about the value of a certain registry key across all users on our roamin profile repository (over 2000 users).
My .ini looks like this:
[RegistryQueryValue]
Find="all"
Path="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"
Name=Personal
My output looks like:
Date Type Size Name
----------------------------------------------------------------
2009-04-30T22:55:31 REG_SZ 8 byte [user]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal
But the output only confirms the existence of the key, and doesn't tell me the value. Is there anyway to output the value?
Hi Kevin, thank your for
Hi Kevin,
thank your for your comment. Unfortunately this is currently not possible, but it will definitely be considered for my next version.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply. Awesome tool nonetheless, thank you.
I have used ProfileNurse
I have used ProfileNurse before, but now find the registry compression not working, and keys that are viewable in the registry are not showing up on the Querys. I downloaded the latest and I am running it on Windows 2003 profiles. It doesn\'t appear to security related, as some keys get deleted, but not all. The keys I am trying to delete are Software\\SHARP and Software\\Hewlett-Packard. They are visable when I run regedit, but not when I run the Profile Nurse Query.

Hi Lyle,
currently I am very busy, but I'll look into the issue you found during the weekend. In the meantime could you provide me with some additional info?
Could you post or e-mail me the ini file you used? Could you send me a detailed overview of the permissions on those two registry keys or maybe the ntuser.dat without any personal data? This would make it easier for me to determine the root cause of the problem.
In any case I'll get back to you on monday with what I've found out.
Until then, kind regards,
Profile Nurse
I am trying to use
I am trying to use ProfileNurse to delete all instances of *.tmp & *.pst in the users roaming profiles. I have read the "examples" but I keep getting the message "No operations defined in .
Nursing failed!
Can you provide an example of how to delete temporary files (*.tmp) from all roaming profiles?
Hi, could you post the
Hi,
could you post the content of your .ini file with the actions that are not recognized?
For now here's an example on how to delete all *.tmp from the specified folder.
[FileSystemDeleteFile]
Path="Appdata\Roaming\Temp\*.tmp"
