Just recently wmz files have started appearing in my temp directory on
every bootup. Named as so DCF4.WMZ File name always has four
characters, different each time. Previous ones can be deleted, but
most recent cannot, file in use open in program.
Open the file with winzip. Contents are Dxhost.js and Dxhost.wms
Virus scan shows nothing.
Any ideas

Open the Computer/Network folder. Set the View to Details, and look for WMZ
in the "Discovery" column.

Found the answer. Downloaded Process Explorer form MS. Handy
app....too bad it's not part of the OS.
Searched wmz files and found the temp file tied to a Object Desktop
weather widget. Will contact the author to find out why it creates
the wmz.
Thanks for your help anyway.
