tmp files on desktop
I have a client that says her desktop is filling up with temp files when she is working in word. she eletes them but they keep coming back?
If she has enabled hidden folders to be visible in the Windows Explorer settings any files on the Desktop will show their temp files when open.

i checked these are set not to show?

"If you're working on a network share or mapped drive, or on a local hard
drive that has NTFS formatting, make sure you have Full Control, or at least
the Read, Write, and Modify rights for that folder. To check it, right-click
the folder, select Properties, and click the Security tab. If you don't have
Modify rights, Word won't be able to delete any files from that folder."

Sorry, should have added: as you know doubt realize, the folder in question would be the Desktop.
