Word doesn't delete tmp files after shutdown. Help!

[A.J. Nylander]

Hi,

I have no idea what is going on, but I have plenty of tmp files
hidden in my documents and desktop. When I open a doc file the word
generates the wrl....tmp file directly to the same folder and then it
doesn't delete it when I close word. Any ideas?

No malware, spyware, viruses (Adawre + spybot + Norton Antivirus). This
started couple of weeks ago. Maybe after some automatic update for
windows / Service pack for office?

I don't know the cause, but you can find a cleanup batch file at
