Flooded with *.tmp files!

I recently had to restore my operating system with Norton Ghost 12, since I
accidently installed an old program that corrupted the boot file, or MBR.
Anyway, everything is working well, but my "Temp" file folder under
Users/{name}/AppData/local/Temp is FLOODED with *.tmp files that are
constantly being written and re-written to that file location. Their names
begin as follows: Ver1.tmp, Ver1A.tmp, Ver1A0.tmp, Ver1A0A.temp, etc. There
are literally hundreds of them! I can't delete them because they are
constantly in a state of being written and re-written to the HDD. Windows
Explorer "locks up" when I try to select them for deletion. Anyone have ANY
clue as to what is going on? TIA!

I've narrowed the problem to one of about 10 applications that are being
loaded at startup. For the time being, I'm not experiencing the problem.
Well, I know it's not a Microsoft application now. I've got some third-party
applications that are loading at startup which is the culprit. Either HP
digital imaging monitor, NVIDIA drivers, JAVA, HP Connections, or Tunebite.
I'll get to the bottom of this, after about 10 reboots.

Well, it was the HP Digital Imaging application, hpqtra08.exe. Beware for
those using an HP "all in one" Scanner/Printer!

You're welcome! I figured someone out there might be (or will be)
experiencing the same problem, so now they can find the solution using a
search on Usenet.

I'll bet you've got lots more back there that don't get your attention like
the *temp* files.

HP sucks for stuff like that, I know, I use an HP scanner. So does ...
everything else.


Use something like StartupCop etc to find the junk that is hiding in the
background eating up rescources.

NEVER allow auto updates, NEVER!

Bill never sleeps. NEVER!

I'm not paranoid and neither are we. <BG>
