I believe the tmp files are what TB creates when downloading pop messages, because from time to time when my virus scanner picks up a virus being downloaded, it locks the particular tmp file. The reasons for it not cleaning them up could could be a variety of things, including virus scanners, or TB just not cleaning up after itself for some reason, like a crash.
They are safe to delete though. I delete mine on occasion. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, January 14, 2003, 11:27:30 AM, you wrote: S> Hello fellow tbudl'ers, S> I have been exploring my drive for wasted file space and have S> discovered 324 files in; S> C:\WINDOWS\TEMP S> The files are MOSTLY '0-byte' empty files, but there are 14 that S> are between 21 and 45MB each, with the filenames such as S> batA144.tmp.
