• Select the Enable Write Filter check box to set the write filter to be enabled after

reboot (the WFilterPartition1 key value is set to the platform default). The write filter

Information
button should never be used for any reason and has no value to
the user.

Write Filter check box, all controls are disabled (grayed-out) until the flush completes.

• Once the cache has been flushed, clicking on the Flush Cache button causes the

following message to display:

• Click on the Query Cache button to display a cache status report.

NetXClean Utility

NetXClean keeps extraneous information from being stored in flash memory. NetXClean
is a service that runs constantly in the background and operates only on the flash memory.
Cleanup is triggered on either service startup or user logoff.

NetXClean performs the cleanup invisibly and no user input is necessary.

If a flush of the write filter cache puts junk in flash directories that must be kept clean, or
allows junk to continue being written to flash after the write filter cache is flushed (until a
reboot occurs), NetXClean prevents garbage files from building up and filling the free
space in the flash. This is particularly important when multiple users have logon rights to a
terminal because memory space can be used up quickly by locally stored profiles and
temporary caching of information.

NetXClean purges certain directories, files, and profiles. It uses a configuration file to
determine which directories and files to purge, and which profiles to not purge. The
selections are made by the manufacturer and should not be changed without
manufacturer supervision.
