glent Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 usually C:\Documents and Settings\GL3nt\Local Settings\Tempreplace GL3nt with your user account name, and make sure u enable show hidden files best thing to do is to delete everything in there and then run your software, A random folder name is created each time you run itHope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 is it safe to delete everything in the temp folder?(the .dll files etc?)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sometimes. Some programs make constant use of the temp directory. Though, I do manual tidy up, of empty folders etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just use the /a switch, on the installer. The installer will unpack, to a location, of your choice.As for tempory files, programs may read and write, from that location. So needlessly removing files, can upset them. This is why the temp folder is hidden from the users sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
