Sure thing.

Yeah, these guys are pretty good. I'd say they err a little too far on the
side of caution and end up hurting usability for it. The TCexplorer program
is an example of that. It's a relatively simple tool, and if I were king,
would be maintained by the core developers. It's somewhat outside the scope
of the main program but satisfies a very common use case which disqualifies
TC from being a viable option within a lot of enterprises.

Yeah, that's just way too much overhead, on a variety of levels. For our
needs, using TCexplorer is "secure enough". Especially since 99% of the time
it will be used to access data on the computers of the people who actually
own the data, our clients. This fact alone almost completely mitigates the
"temp file insecurity" argument that the TC people have against using
TCexplorer.
