The only reasonable explanation for temp files on the desktop is files on
the desktop. Is that where you're storing them?

As soon as I open a word document a temp file appears on my desktop,
does anyone know how to fix this problem. I never had it before and it
just started after I somehow lost every picture that I had on my
harddrive and the entire files that they were in. I am running windows
XP behind zonealarm firewall, have triple virus scanners and triple
spyware scanners that I keep updated daily.
