Hello!
I was trying to help someone with a QuickBooks problem, which looked as
though it was caused by the "explorer" process taking over 400MB of memory
(512 in the system) and dropping available memory to 4MB most of the time.
I wanted to clean out the user's temp folder, but when I clicked on it, it
took over fifteen minutes to show the searching flashlight, and it never did
show the folder contents. I went to a command prompt and did a "dir"
command. There were thousands of folders starting with WPTEMPxxxxxx where
xxxxxx went from zero to at least 358000, which is where I gave up and
killed it.
I Googled and found references to problems with WordPerfect 10 and GroupWise
and using the Send To from a right-click, but this user has WordPerfect 12
and does not have GroupWise.
Any idea what would create over 350,000 WPTEMP folders?
Thank you!
