    Good day all,

    I am having an issue with my machine.

    It appears that my machine possible thinks there is more than one user, me and somebody named TEMP. Maybe it doesn't but I'm not sure.

    It looks like like all pertinent ssystem info is being directed to DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS/TEMP instead of DOCS AND SETTING/USER NAME

    All application data is also being stored in this TEMP directory. I finally got this machine to use DOCS AND SETTINGS/USERNAME instead of the TEMP directory but some other programs are still using it.

    Is there a global setting somewhere that says which folders to use?

    I try and delete the folder but can't as IWNDOWS says it's required, which I can believe but I always thought TEMp folders are for temporary storage of files and not permenant storage of system info.

    Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Gord
