Temp Files
1. Why does Windows store temp files in places other the the Temp folder ? Long before SSDs, I have kept the OS on its own partition w/ TMP and TEMO environment variables set to D:\Temp and do cleaning regularly. Have wifie's puter set up to run ccleaner and disk cleanup (once a month). Looking in there today, the temp folder was clean, but searching C:\ there were 16,673 files taking up 264 MB. Ya would think deleteing temp files would get rid of all of them.
2. And since most of 2/3 of them are phantom files ..... same file in 2, 3 or more different locations so that when ya delete 1 they all go, it's a PITA to delete. What's the deal with this dupe thing ?
