Update: ZAP does definitely create one of these each day at startup and does
not delete it on shutdown, so I have to delete them manually, but when I
looked just now I had a whole slew of them dated today; all but one
disappeared when I shut down Word, so it would appear that Word is indeed
responsible for them.

I have these, too. Any temp files that don't get deleted on shutdown I
tend
to blame on ZoneAlarm Pro, though Norton AntiVirus is another likely
possibility. They both make quite a production of doing things at startup
that seem to make it take even longer than ever for Windows to fully load.

Thanks Dawn. If all Word tmp files begin with ~wrd I guess my
~DF####.tmp
files are not related to Word. Anyone have any ideas whats creating
them?
They are being created a few times each day even if Office is not used.
