726966 2008-12-09 07:56:00 Everytime when save and close an Excel 2000 file, a *.tmp file would be created in the original file location, the more you do save and close, more *.tmp files would be created. This issue happend on random PCs. I had tried run the "Detect and Repair" but doesn't help. Anybody got any idea? dthlau (14394)
726967 2008-12-09 08:03:00 Is there an option in Excel to turn off auto-save?
That might be causing the .tmp files

Generally you should turn "show hidden files an folders" on, then you shouldn't see them

It looks like there's an option in AVG, called scan on close in AVG's resident shield. This may or not appear in the latest version. Untick it, if its ticked
