Hi, Anybody know why powerpoint should start creating .tmp files within the folder the main file is stored for no apparant reason?
Thanks
 
mrbud1972,

Powerpoint does generate tmp files while it's in edit mode and slideshow mode. It normally puts them in the system temp folder

Something along the lines of
documents and settings\current user name\local settings\temp

I believe you can change the location in
control panel>system>advanced>environment variables (at your own risk of course)

Cheers
