Word should not create temporary files while I am editing any docu
I really dont like the concept used by MS Word in creating temporary files
while I am editing any document. When I am editing the document located on my desktop, there are a bunch of temporary files created on my desktop. Almost half of my desktop is filled with these temporary files. I really want to get rid of this. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

You could stop viewing hidden and system files. However, if they get rid of
the temporary files thing, I might just shoot myself 'cause then if my machine crashes, my REAL file will be lost instead of my temp one... ************ Anne Troy VBA Project Manager www.OfficeArticles.com "bharteesh" wrote in message ...

We wouldn't have multiple Undos, either, without temp files, I think.

Word should not create temporary files while I am editing any
Not to mention that storing files on the desktop can be a rather precarious
practice in the first place. Since the temps are placed in the same location as the file, they won't be on the desktop if the file isn't.

"Don't do that! $50, please!" Put your files in some folder (even put that folder on your desktop, if you desire), put a shortcut to that folder on the desktop (optional, but my own practice for ease of access), and work thereafter in the folder. No more intermediate files cluttering your desktop. $50 please! Lynn Killingbeck |

When I am editing the document located on my desktop, there are a bunch of temporary files created on my desktop. Almost half of my desktop is filled with these temporary files. I really want to get rid of this. For an explanation of why and where Word creates temp files, see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=211632. It isn't possible to edit in Word without temp files -- they're part of the design of the entire program, and getting rid of them would require completely rewriting Word. It just isn't going to happen. If you don't want to see temp files on your desktop -- even temporarily -- the only alternative is never to edit a document while it's on your desktop. Save the file in any other folder and open it from there, and then you won't have to look at the temp files. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
