fffebecf_{B5F1BB85-1F6E-44BE-B1AD-7D4301CE7935}.tmp

These are the temporary files being created daily in
C:\Windows folder. it only started recently in Windows
folder.
Any help to stop them?
 
Re: Temp Files in Windows folder

My mind has gone AWOL on me.....but wait for Mike or Mart in the
morning.....haven't seen this problem for a LONG time. Just a minor
thing, but for the life of me, I can't remember what causes it. They
won't harm your computer, but will sure take over your HD space.....

Cheers......Heather

I think this is as a result an old Power Point(office 97)

Q221438 refers to file Mdm.exe. This file is not installed
on my hd but the reference exists in the registry in the
keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\FilesNamedMRU]
"000"="Mdm.exe"
"001"="fffd195b_{0BC73C3A-5BE4-433E-8BC4-55801AAD9FC6}.tmp"
"002"="NVCPLDAEMON"
"003"="NWIZ"
"004"="Winimage.exe"


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}]

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\FilesNamedMRU]
"000"="Mdm.exe"
"001"="fffd195b_{0BC73C3A-5BE4-433E-8BC4-55801AAD9FC6}.tmp"
"002"="NVCPLDAEMON"
"003"="NWIZ"
"004"="Winimage.exe"

Any further advice? I mean to delete the reference?

Re: Temp Files in Windows folder

AAH,

The Registry MRU keys containing those strings are there because you have
searched for the strings, that is mdm.exe and
fffd195b_{0BC73C3A-5BE4-433E-8BC4-55801AAD9FC6}.tmp. These keys have
nothing to do with your problem.

When you searched for mdm.exe did you check the contents of the folder
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG (if present) which
is one of the place mdm.exe can hide itself. On occasion disabling script
debugging in Internet Explorer has been reported to stop the production of
the unwanted fff*.tmp files in the Windows folder [in Internet Explorer,
go Tools | Internet Options | Advanced and make certain that "Disable
script debugging" is checked in the "Browsing" section]
