    Hi all, When any document is opened in ms word then it also creates .tmp file in same folder/temp folder. I want to stop such .tmp file creation. How can i do that ? Can it be done by some option in MSWord settings? can it be done by writting addin DLL for that? or thru can it be done by writing COM,VC++ application ? Please Let me know if it is possible? how? by which method? Any suggestion are welcome. Thank in advance. Jetli conclusion means Coming to wrong Decision with confidence

      they're automatic recovery files. go in the tool\options\file location and either turn off automatic recovery or point it to a different folder (it's a good feature, but you may not want it in with your .doc files because it crowds your directory

But Even if i uncheck those option, word still creates .tmp file. Does anybody has point to this? How to prevent word from creating ,tmp file, by any means (COM Addin, programmatically etc...)
