Why all these type of files ~WRL1762.tmp
Backing up some Word Document folders I was looking at all files and
wondered why there seem to be up to a hundred ~WRLxxxx.tmp files. They add up to a few hundred Mb. Can they be deleted as some date back to 2003 and the original files long since removed. Appreciate help. Ken |

Why all these type of files ~WRL1762.tmp
These are windows temp files - created by Office for copy/paste, locking a
document (to stop anyone else editing it whilst it is open) and several other functions. Normally, Word will create one locking file in its home folder and two in the user temp folder. When all applications are closed, this temp folder should be empty. So close all applications and delete everything in the temp folder (you may need to reboot to unlock some of them). -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Ken" Reply to NG only wrote in message ...
