.TMP files Windows XP

[Andrea Andreou]

Hello,

I have upgraded to Windows xp and when using microsoft word 2003, I have noticed many tmp files appear around my root drive my documents folder and desktop. This does not cause technical problems but I find that it annoys me as I try to keep a clean hard drive. Is there a way to find what application these .tmp files come from, or, if possible, could I set my system to automaticly delete them or stop them from being created.

Thank you.
Andrea

Word creates a temporary file when you open a document. Keep your documents in a folder and not on your desktop.

Right above the first post in a thread, to the right a bit.
