Re: CLR.BAT -- mystery of missing files is solved

Great!
Just yesterday I had my machine lock up embarrassingly in front of
someone trying to access Yahoo mail. I found out later I had about 7K of
HDD space remaining. The temp location had been put from ram drive back to
HDD to handle big gifs and had been filling up ever since!

By the way, the line as written looks dangerous for people running
Arachne while shelled out of windows - eg, disappeared autosaves out of
winword might be deleted.
