  • My Windows/temp folder fills up with 10's of thousands and many GB of tmp files worth departure when I connect to broadband.

    The files are all created in C:\windows\temp\tmp0000xxxx\ and are called tmp0000yyyy. There is no file name extension and the file size is 0 KB to MB in size. They are created at a pace that can reach 100 000 per hour and take 6 GB of space per hour. It really slows the PC and a pain to deal with

    First of all, there was also a perflib_perfdataxxx.dat file as well, but I find this return to a java jsq.exe file. I got rid of this help Unlocker and it was OK for a week and now she went back worse than ever. I can delete the files using cleaning, but they keep coming when I connect. I am on Windows XP and the BitDefender antivirus (recently updated for 2012) are Microsoft Security Essentials - which none has detected a virus. One other strange thing has been lately that BitDefender did not Excel files for a while because he thought he has access to the internet so I had to turn off the feature in BitDefender (sorry don't remember the name). I saw a few notes on web chat that Excel can create .tmp files

    Any help would be appreciated.

    OK - off BitDefender and all seems well. Don't be that charge again! All about Microsoft Security Essentials now so I hope that's enough with the firewall.

    May not be entirely incompatibility of anti-virus software, as this was happening before that I put on MSE, in a desperate attempt to find a virus.
    All I can say is that on an old PC, I had Norton mess up so I ran that 4 years without antivirus and never had any problems. My opinion is that the antivirus is a scam!

    Hello

    The question could have been caused due to some virus.

    I suggest to perform a Virus scan and check if it helps fix the problem.

    Method 1:

    Follow the link below and perform a cleaning disc. Check if it helps.

    Method 2:

    Follow the link below, perform a Virus scan and check if that helps.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    C:\Windows\Temp there risk of malware infections, perhaps rootkit? I have files that start with HTT2377 or DF40 etc.

    Reader either as well as any other folder on your hard drive.  Nothing in this temporary file can be deleted if desired.  It's a good idea to everything that he remove before installing new programs to avoid possible problems.

  • Profile of user does not write in c:\windows\temp

    Due to an update of Firefox, I damaged my user files.  I installed a new profile, the limited access, to surf. Now when I try to download programs or to run JAVA applications, I get an error message... "cannot write to c:\windows\temp, access denied, file is read-only. Change the properties of files or contact Admin"in some way, I lost the ability to write to this folder. Changing the property of the 'read only' file does not work, it activates again when the file is closed. I have here a way to solve this problem while still limiting the administrator user profile. level?

    First of all, if you look at the 'Read only' attribute of a folder in the Properties window, you must know that this box has absolutely nothing to do with any read-only attribute.  It is actually used to customize the folder.  Microsoft's explanation of this is in the following article:

    "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549 >

    To change the access permissions to a specific folder, the easiest method is to log on as an administrator and change the permissions using the 'Security' tab, as seen when right click on a folder and select "Properties".  If you do not see a 'Security' tab, this means that you have XP Home or you have XP Pro with 'Simple file sharing' enabled.  Assuming you have XP Pro, you can change the access permissions to the terms of this article:

    "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

    If you have XP Home Edition, you can start mode safe (repeatedly tap the F8 key during startup key) and then log in as an administrator and follow the above article, or you can log in as an administrator in Normal mode and use the command "cacls" from a command prompt window.  To bring up a command prompt window,
    Start-> Run-> "cmd".
    Then, enter the command:
    cacls C:\Windows\Temp/e/g everyone: F
    What will give "everyone" access to the complete directory.

  • I have about 500 MB of files in Windows/Temp.

    I would like to delete these files to free more hard disk space. Can it hurt if I empty the Windows/Temp folder?

    Use ccleaner . It will remove the temporary files / and navigation stuff. If his lack of space, I would also kill the system restore and hibernation. In ccleaner, you can also remove the patch (you must check the option first under the cleaner option). It is if you do not want to remove updates

  • Safely delete the contents of the ProgramFiles/Windows/Temp dir? __And I can remove the content of Documents and Settings/User1/Local settings/Temp dir? __Thanks for any advice! __

    Can I safely remove or delete the contents of a 'Temp' directory in Windows?

    -Documents and Settings / User1 / Local settings / Temp

    -Program Files / Windows / Temp

    Yes, you can delete the contents of any temporary directory. You can use disk cleanup or CCleaner . If you use CCleaner, use only the cleaning tools. Let tools registry and other options alone . MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • C:\Windows\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of this folder. __

    Someone knows how can I fix?  I can't download anything because of this error, I tried a system restore, but that did not work.  Any help would be great.

    Click Start, click computer.  Then click on your system (probably C:\) drive and when it opens, you should see a folder named Windows.  This is the folder I'm talking about.

    Is what program this?  I don't think I've seen a program that automatically and without offering alternatives downloads in C:\Windows\TEMP never - even in the days of DOS.  Are you sure that this program is safe and compatible with your system and the version of Vista?

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hello


    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Method 1: Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.
    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
     
    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
     
    Method 2: Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.
     
    Method 3:
    Run a full scan with your antivirus software.
     
    Hope this information helps.
