SWBoengine

Has anybody seen this process hang onto a thumbdrive? I had a
thumbdrive plugged into my laptop and wanted to remove it. AFAIK only
SW had accessed files on the drive. I closed all the files in SW and
any Explorer windows and couldn't dismount the drive. Then I shut down
SW2005 and still couldn't shut down the drive. Finally I went into task
manager and checked for errant SW processes. There weren't any, but
there was the SWBOengine. I shut that down and the thumbdrive could be
shut down.

So what is SWBOengine doing? And why does it maintain some kind of
handle on my files?

 

Here's a link to an explanation

That answers what it is, but not my question. It appears to have
prevented the removal of the thumbdrive, probably because of file
access and yet I didn't use the Task Scheduler.

 

I have had similar problems with SWBOengine.... basicallt for whatever rason
this file crashes whenever I want to shut my PC down (I've got no removable
drives like you though) and so I've actually removed it from startup and I
just manually trigger it whenever I need to perform task scheduler
stuff..... although at the moment my task scheduler doesn't seem to work at
ALL since I've installed 2ks so that's REALLY useful!
