MS Publisher 2002 Creating Thousands of Temp Files
Hi
Can anyone tell me why my MS Publisher 2002 is creating 60-70 thousand zero bit temp files in my Document folder everytime I create a document in Pub? I've never had this happen before and it's getting hard to get rid of them! I am using MS XP Home for an operating system on a fairly new Dell desktop... Thanks, Dave |

MS Publisher 2002 Creating Thousands of Temp Files
Have you tried a "disk clean-up?" Right-click your hard drive, click disk
cleanup. I don't know how large the temporary folder can be and if it is missing where do the temp files go. This is a Windows function. You probably will get better advice asking on a Windows forum. Look at your temp folder to be sure it is there, you can delete everything in it. It is a hidden folder. Type %temp% in the address bar of Windows explorer.

Thanks, Dave Hi Mary, Thank you for the suggestion. Although your suggestion will get rid of the temp files it seems like my MS Pub setup is missing something. I'm sure it should create temp files as it does it's thing but I would think that the software would get rid of them after it's closed and would certainly not be storing them in my main "My Documents" folder....somehow it's "confused". I guess for next steps I will try to re-install the program to see if it installs the proper files and sequences for running....It's a little strange to create a two page MS Pub doc and end up with 65,546 temp files!

Have you performed a virus scan lately? Is your printer driver current?
