Newsgroup Readers,
The problem: Hundreds of ~WRLnnnn.tmp files are building
up in same directories as my documents. Many are months
old.
THE RESEARCH:
I searched the Knowledge Base and found articles 212242,
211632 and 316951 explained some of the reasoning for
these files. But I need to know what is happening such
they remain long after the documents are closed.
I search these newsgroups and found "Deleting Temporary
Files" and "Word 2002, Hidden docs" from earlier this
month. But the responses don't actually say what we can do
about them.
At the end of "Word 2002, Hidden docs" it says "believe
maybe this turned out to be associated with the SMB packet
signing issue? I remember that someone
did come up with a solution." Yet when I searched for "SMB
packet signing" I did not find anything useful.
The Questions:
1. If these files must exist for the health of MS Word,
can they be relocated somewhere besides the document's
directory and still serve their recovery function?
(I could make a directory just for them.)
2. If NO, then is there something I can do to cut down on
the number of files. That is, besides deleting them in
bulk?
