What is hpcee.exe?

[Shanester]

Greetings,

I have an item in the Task Schedular that points to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HP Ceement\HPCEE.exe

Does anyone know what HPCEE.exe is? Or what it does?

Thanks,

Shane.

After Googling I can only see this note is acceptable.

Now that I know what it does, I was able to find this...

HP Ceement stands for Hewlett Packard Customer Experience Enhancement. CEEment (HPCEE.exe) is the reporting tool that HP uses to collect and study anonymous data. You can activate CEEment when you set up your computer. Or, you can activate using HP Advisor or HP Support Assistant at any time.

Some of the data reported using CEEment includes your model number, OS, region, locale, and BIOS version. If you wish to know specifically which data was collected, launch HP Support Assistant. Click Settings , scroll down to the bottom of the Health Analysis tab, and then click View information collected by HP .

To disable HP Ceement (HPCee.exe), change all the zeros to ones (0 to 1)  in the Ceement.ini file, then reboot.
