Vista .Tmp files
I just migrated from a Win98 system to Vista Home Premium. All new hardware.
In Win98 I had to delete the .tmp files every week before I backed up. I can't find the .tmp files in Vista. Can someone tell me where they are & do I need to clean them out. Thanks Hooter

Vista .Tmp files
Hi,
C:\Users\user\appdata\local\temp Or just type %temp% into the start/search line and hit enter. The temp folder is generally not included in system backups, as the automated one in Vista HP does not do a full system backup but rather does a user file backup. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Hooter" wrote in message ...

Vista .Tmp files
Thanks to all.
There are a lot of temp files that disk clean dos not delete. %temp% allows you to delete the rest. "Rick Rogers" wrote in message ...

Run %temp%. Now I'm curious. There is a temp folder for each user account and a temp folder in the Windows directory - are there others?

Use Cclean. It clears all temp files and a lot more. 'Piriform - The best software is free!' (http://www.piriform.com/products) -- spot Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com
