Yep, as long as they aren't created in your current Windows session. ;-) S> Comments? Suggestions? These files represent almost half a GB of S> space being used (wasted?). Delete them manually or go to the drive properties in the explorer and select 'clean disk' (or whatever it's called in the English version), you get a pop-up that lets you select what to clean: check 'temporary files' and 'temporary internet files' Other option is to add a line: del c:\windows\temp\*.tmp to your autoexec.bat, so that you're emptyinng the directory during each startup, that ought to be a safe moment, since Windows hasn't got the time to create them then. ;-) -- Groetjes, Roelof ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
