Microsoft Excel: Excel will not delete the tmp files.

205| Thu, 22 May 2008 20:44:00 GMT| anonymous| Comments (1)
Since I have upgraded to Office Service PAck 2 for Office 2003, excel has
quite deleting the .tmp files that it creates when you open a spreadsheet.
How can I fix this. I have tried turning off auto save but the setting
changes back each time I edit a new spreadsheet.

Where are those .tmp files being created.

Excel creates a bunch of .tmp files in the Windows Temp folder. If you're
seeing them in a different location, it may not be excel (I've never seen xl do
this).

It may be your antivirus program.

One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP.

It was caused by AVG.

A while ago, someone posted back that uninstalling something called "Panda
ClientShield" fixed a similar problem.

Even if you're not running "Panda ClientShield", you could try disabling this
program to see if the problem goes away.
