temp folder messed up

Hi All : JUst weird , lately my temp folder will not allow some programs to use it . I get a error that the temp folder can't be access , check permissions . Anyone have a reg file to fix this or something similar ? thanks people

What Anti-Malware/Anti-virus program have you scanned with? It's possible that your (users) permissions are corrupt.

Which temp folder? What is the full path to it?

Use Norton internet security , Superantispyware , Malware bytes premium all running .. All scans show nothing . Well it always finds some cookies ..

Make sure your data is backed up either on an external hard drive or somewhere else before proceeding:

1.) Please download and save the file TFC by Old Timer. Again, save the file to your downloads folder or your desktop. Do not run it.

Downloading TFC


2.) Close your programs before running this tool. TFC will close ALL open programs.

3.) Browse to where you saved tfc. Right click on tfc.exe and choose Run As Administrator.

4.) Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion. When it finishes it will say total files cleaned, and the start button will be grayed out. Click exit.
Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.


This will wipe all temp locations, and usually resolves issues like these.
