Hello all,

Some comments on temporary files, that may (or may not :-) help.

1. Sound programming practices recommend a program to clean up it's own
temporary files. AFAIK TB does it.
2. The same programming pratices suggest that a program's temporary
files are to be created in a known place (for example, a subdirectory
of the system temporary space), and that the user's access controls
are to be enforced.
3. But... we all know that things can go wrong. So now kicks in
4. sound sysadmin practices recommend that the system temporary space
should be cleared every so often.

With that in mind, it seems to me that the best for TB is to create
it's temp files under it's own temp space; if this is a multiple user
TB, then each user should have it's own private space, and Windows
access control should follow the user's permissions.

Also, if TB is to use a private temporary space, then... the best is
for TB to clean up the temp space on start-up.

If TB keeps on using the system temp space, then it's the sysadmin
responsibility to create a script to clean it up every so often.
