Can anybody help with the query below. The spooler does not clear these
files out sometimes.  

I have investigated further and found that the print jobs are large ones
that are possibly printing to an autocreated client printer via an nfuse
session.  If this helps??????

Subject: [THIN] Print Spooler / shockwave Hanging citrix

Hi Folks 

I have just started at this site. I have a problem on one citrix server.
Hang on ...here is the spec. 

2 citrix servers W2k SP4, Citrx XPe, Published desktop Client print
drivers loaded at connection 

When users pickup Citrix2 they log in and the sessions hangs before the
profile loads. They just get a desktop colour background with no start
button or icons. 

When I Stop the print spooler service it works okay. But no one can
print.... obviously. 

The problem seems to happen when 2 files get written to the
C:\winnt\system32\spool\printers folder
00141.shd       2kb     shd file 2KB
00141           444kb   Shockwave Flash Object

When I delete these files and restart the spooler everything is fine.
Problem is the files come back.  So far I have had them appear at 7:20
am yesterday & 10:30 today.  I am trying to find the source

Any Ideas
