Dmitry, Thanks for clearing up when fb_sort files are being deleted.
We are certainly looking for ways to "Just fix your application", however with complex logic-intensive applications it's not always that simple. "change %TEMP%" is just not going to work in any enterprise environment. You can strong-arm your single-license user into doing this but not the IT departments of companies with thousands of user.
