Thanks to your replies I traced the problem to MDM.exe being loaded at startup. No worries, I just removed the entries from the registry. Now, a few months later, MDM is back along with the tmp files, but there is no reference to MDM in the usual places in the registry, a registry search reveals nothing interesting, msconfig has no reference to it, and astandard search brings nothing to light as far as I can see. Any ideas as to why it is being loaded at startup, and where from? About to do a step by step confrimation startup. Hope that helps.	Guest (0)

It only runs when an explorer window does - I have since found out it is not just 'IE', but explorer (the same app I know) generically. Here's a twist though - it does n't happen when I launch explorer from a desktop shortcut (although I havn't tried all of them), but only when I launch the app manually from quick launch, or startmenu. btw, sorry scooby - nothing.
