Don't know why they would appear on your desktop rather than in your %temp% folder, but they should be safe to move or delete. > I didn't make any change to TB! > that I know of. Have you changed something in anti-virus or similar software recently? Maybe that is accessing/scanning TB!'s temp files at thhe time TB! is shutting down, preventing TB! from deleting them? -- Best regards MFPAmailto:expires2...@rocketmail.com Two rights do not make a wrong.

I would REALLY hate to split her stuff off (This suggestion comes from my experience with Win7, so I don't know what the directory structure looks like for Win8, but I'm thinking you can probably find the proper analogs.) I think the important detail has to do with where you put the mail folder in the filesystem. If you put it in an %APPDATA% directory or in a Documents directory (under one of the user accounts) then the other user won't be able to access that directory. Therefore, you will probably have to put the mail folder at the filesystem root or in some directory that is outside the /Users directory and not in /Program Files (x86) or any other access protected directory. __ -Sam Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

tmp files started appearing on my desktop
Hi All, I'm using an older version of TB! specifically 3.99. In the last couple of days .tmp files have begun to appear on my desktop. I didn't make any change to TB! that I know of. Any suggestions on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
