[Kobe Cunanan]

Hi:

I use Microsoft Word 2003. For some reason under my My Documents folder the
temp files for Word gets stored their as well, I keep deleting them, is their
a way to redirect them or turn off the temp file for being created?
Thank You

There is no way to use Word without temp files
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632).

When things are working as they should, Word automatically deletes the temp
files associated with a document when you close that document. Some temp files
contain copied text or graphics and may persist after closing. If lots of files
remain, either Word crashed and didn't get a chance to clean up, or something is
configured wrong (such as folder permissions).

See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm for help in cleaning
up the temp files and keeping them under control.
