System .tmp files
The .tmp files aren't 'protected system files' the folder
Documents and Settings/My Account/Local Settings/Temp is. It's safe to delete the .tmp files. If any are in use XP won't let you delete them. Common advice is to reboot and then delete the .tmp files. -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes In , WRH hunted and pecked: Hello After defragging my WinXP Pro C drive, the defrag report indicated about 800MB of files that could not be defragged. These files are in Documents and Settings/My Account/Local Settings/Temp/TempSBE (TempSBE can only be viewed with the Windows Explorer 'Hide protected system files' switched off) They are all .tmp files , eg SBE5.tmp, etc last accessed a year ago. Since they eat up about 800MB, is it safe to remove these 'protected system files'?

System .tmp files
All seems OK, even though after unchecking the folder readonly
WinXP issued dire warnings when I deleted the files. It seems clear enough that these are .tmp files and can be removed...I don't know why they were left there for over a year. In my case, 800MB is a significant percentage of my OS disk space. "WRH" wrote in message ... Thanks...I'll do it... "Wesley Vogel" wrote in message news:gNuLc.138315$JR4.112377@attbi_s54...
