deleting/hiding word2003 temp files
Hi all. I have a strange issue with temp word files. The machine is a client to an sbs 2003 server. the client runs win XP + office 2003. all users have access to each others files stored on the server. offline files is turned on. for some strange reason when word files are opened from the file share the temp files are becoming visable (~2392.tmp) and then are not being deleted when word is closed. I have checked the settings and hide temp files is set on both client and server. The temp file can be opened as a word document and viewed or deleted with no issues. Although multipul people can access the files their is only one person accessing them. the machine has been checked and appears clean from virus/spyware issues. Also SOME of the word files were originally 97 files transfered over time.
hope i have entered enough info to receive some possitive help. (first question i have asked)
Note. This issue is at a customers premises, so it may take a few days to test any remarks/ideas.
