TEMP folder Questions...
My C:\Windows \Temp folder takes up about 50MB of space. Some files are recent, but some are 3 to 12 months old and consists of wav files, TMP files, dat files, AVI files, etc. Are these files needed for running Windows or are they leftovers of installation files which can safely be deleted from the Temp folder?

How to Cleaning Windows Temp File
I dompresses files into C:\Windows\Temp. Some of the setup files were not cleared from C:\Windows\Temp. When I tried to install Vison 98, it also decompressed installation files into C:\Windows\Temp. Some of the older Select Enterprise Demo files screwed up the setup process. I cleared C:\Windows\Temp out and tried
Printer error message
There may not be enough free disk space available in the TEMP directory. Temp and Wondows/Temp are empty, my hard drive has more than 5Gb of free space, and the installation files are not corrupt as I could install the same files in another computer today. Any clue please? The problem seems to be a damaged
Temp files
There is absolutely no way a responsible programmer should ASSume it's ok to use the %temp% directory to write large installation files to. Many Windows installation programs just go ahead and use your temp directory without bothering to ask, or even check for space. Unless you happen to be lucky, this will result

6. this is almost the same as question 5. well, i was thinking that since moving the temporary internet files to a different partition would help things, i thought that maybe making another partition for the program files would help too? this is what i have so far: I install all my applications on their own
Extremely Large Temp Files
My cleanup batch file each night includes clearing the temp folder - all data has been saved, all programs are closed - the temp files are no longer needed.

Temp Internet Files
There is absolutely no way a responsible programmer should assume it's ok to use the temp directory to write large installation files to.

Missing temp files for installation of Microsoft Internet Keyboard
NOTE: The term %TEMP% is the Temp variable, and means that the worm will save itself to the Windows Temp folder, whatever its location. .... NOTE: As an alternative, you can extract the file from the Windows installation files. See your Windows documentation for information on how to do this. 1.
deleting temp files
It would be very easy for the offending OS to create a sub-directory for this purpose on installation. I have used memmaker for years; it writes temp files which are used on re-boot and subsequently deleted after use, and they are NOT written to %temp%. If you are going to spend millions upon millions of dollars on
How to create temp directory structure in IS5?
I downloaded the installation files for the Microsoft Internet Keyboard. When I try to do the install, I get an error message that "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\_is11BO\1033.mst" is missing or that I do not have access to it. This file is not on my computer anywhere, even when I tell Explorer to show hidden files.
Do I still need these sub-folders in Windows Temp?
Create a temporary installation folder on the hard drive using no more than 8 characters in the file name (for example, ASETUP). Choose Options from the View menu. For WinFax PRO 8.0, copy the files contained in the WINFAX80 folder. Highlight the temporary installation folder you created earlier.

deleting temp files
LS I have heard that these are temp installation files that are safe to delete. Is this true? Thanks for your help. Yes, you can delete those. Normally the NT setup program deletes them for you.

Help: I need a batch file
I ran vssdkinstall_en.exe which "suggested" I unpack the files in: C:\TEMP\wvsSDK -- which I did.

Incorrect Setup Error "No disk space"
You don't want to use it for the Swap file--probably too old and slow to help there. You also don't want to use it for TEMP--TEMP gets accessed too often. Might use it to store things, even the Win98 installation folder and other installation files (drivers, Updates, etc.), instead of putting them on the main drive
