Hello Keith Russell,

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\fix_pnp.exe
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\deltree /y c:\windows\temp\*.* >nul

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\deltree /y d:\temp\*.* >nul

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\deltree /y h:\temp\*.* >nul
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\deltree /y i:\temp\*.* >nul
I use at present this, courtesy Steve I think.
I normally used a utility for cleaning as it allowed me to fine tune
what was removed and could do in one pass also multiple extensions
anywhere on my drives but then exculding certain directories...
Its a great way to keep your system clean if you know that stuff
dumped in certain places WILL get removed without to worry about
it....
I even posted a complaint in the past about these tmp files. No idea
what creates them, and the explanation posted didnt make sense to me.
As however at boot I tended to go to DOS where I ran a thing called
DOSKICK (one of my own creations) from where many things were run
before I even went into windows, one of which was a cleaning of any
temp dirs AND removal of BAK and TMP files of my hard disks, it never
really bothered me....
Since my last reinstall (a clean one) I just never got around to
sticking it back in the boot...
Stick the above in the autoexec.bat but realise that if you expand an
archive to the temp dirs on a reboot they are empty..
With my own way as used before it would do that only once per
day..first boot only and I could skip it if I wanted..

ask them and also run a scandisk to make sure there is not some hidden
disk problem you were hitting as a combination with those tmp files.
