Wha...???

I don't think PHP does anything to "load a registry profile"

This probably is down at the level of the OS and the Task Scheduler layer,
rather than in PHP itself.

You may want to try opening up an MS-DOS window and running your cron jobs
by hand in that to see what output you get, if any.

I really doubt that your PHP code will change -- Probably a setting in
Windows or Task Scheduler, or the way you launch PHP...

Hmmmm. Did you have it set up to open an MS-DOS window and then KEEP it
open? Maybe then the Task Scheduler can't close those windows, and that's
what is keeping the Registry Profile open, whatever that is.

You may have better luck on the php-windows list...
