Windows Vista strange settings on temp folder AppData\Local\Temp\1

First off, i am trying to figure out what causes my temp folder to move from
AppData\Local\Temp to AppData\Local\Temp\1. When i log out and log back in,
then it becomes AppData\Local\Temp\2.

Secondly, the AppData\Local\Temp\1 folder has strange permissions, where it
has these users and groups listed:
NULL SID
Everyone
SYSTEM
CREATOR OWNER
CREATOR GROUP

each item has 0 permssions.

Lastly, my app trys to write to this folder using C++ ::CopyFile. It
crashes rather than returning fasle.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I too am having this problem. What's really strange is that %TEMP% takes me
to the AppData\Local\Temp\2 directory, but the value for TEMP in advanced
system settings -> Environment Variables is set to AppData\Local\Temp
(without the 2). These settings are the same for the administrator and the
user (obviously they are using different base directories).

Another note: It appears that some files are dumped to AppData\Local\Temp
while others are dumped to AppData\Local\Temp\2. I don't see any patterns
here yet except that the \2 directory has less files.
