Can anyone tell me why my friends computer has a lot of temp folders (Word
2003)in his My Documents folder.
Haven't seen this and couldn't find any info on it and CCleaner does not get
rid of them.
Is there a way to stop having these temps go in that folder?
Thanks
 
i went into tools, options, savetab and it was not checked next to always
create back up etc. Actually when i checked his computer, it wasn't My
documents, it was word files saved in a desktop folder name Misc but i don't
think that would matter. Is there something else i should look for in word
 
Word ALWAYS creats a tmp file of every .DOC you open,
usually in the same directory that the original file was in.

If Word crashes or is exited improperly, these files will not
get deleted - Word will delete them automatically when it is
closed properly.

Is your friend shtting down the computer with Word still running
using the power switch rather than with the Start>>Shutdown method ?
 
He types document, saves doc to folder on desktop by using picture of disc on
toolbar on top of word 2003 doc. Then closes doc by hitting red x. Then he
has to open outlook to send that file as an attachment. Does not shut down
with anything running and uses start, shutdown. I tried saving down same way
and no temp on my computer. Usually i save a doc by going to file save.
