temp files not deleting

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have some temp files that will not delete.
In safe mode they will not show up.

There's over a hundred of them-
all hidden files.

2 computers with the same thing going on

xp sp2
wireless network

they will not delete because the are in use

they are all like this-

CS0F070F9E-E424-456C-AF69-DEA25194E54E.tmp
variances in numbers and letters

what are they? i can't find what's using them either...
is this normal?

thanks for any advice

Hi cm

This problem has shown up here before and it seems the temp files are
being created by Spysweeper -- do you have that?

Someone posted that he got rid of the files by disabling Spysweeper from
running at startup, then rebooting. Hope this helps.

You got it Nightowl

Running Spysweeper alright-
on both machines.

I suspected it was the culprit....

Good little program though.

Thanks

download ProcessExplorer from:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

use find handle, type the name of current .tmp file, search will show what
process has the file locked.
