Did as you said.  SET TEMP=C:\TEMP in autoexec.bat, rebooted, started
Arachne and enabled "Cache local Objects".  My setup is working fine.
No "Arachne Load Error" when selecting a message.

Yep, that's true.  I checked it out.

Tried that too.  It doesn't work for me and I get lots of
"Arachne Load Error" pages.

SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
The above works.  Setting TEMP to C:\HOGWASH would probably work too.

Thanks a lot for your advice.  You were even right.  Amazing!
