stealth TEMP folder

[rwbrick]

This is almost a repeat, with some changes. I'm unable to run SOME setup install files, nor run one or two (so far) installed application programs (notably PaintShopPro), nor save SOME attachments from Outlook2000. I'm running
Windows2000. In all cases I get varying messages that always point to the Windows TEMP folder, like "can't access it", "can't open it, check permissions" (Windows in a FAT32 partition -- no permissions), "can't find it", etc. I've had no luck with any ideas I've gotten from, in this case, many forums. My bottom line question is: is it anyone's best guess that I need to 1) eliminate my current Profile and build a new one, or 2) re-install my Windows2000 (which I usually have to do every couple of years to get over
some Gates gotcha or another.....) I assume reinstalling W2K will not change my current application programs or data files.

Well, that should not be the first approach.

[li]clean your TEMP folders and takeout other trash.

[li]Doing a repar reinstallation will not loose you your data files and applications. It will revert you in terms of Service Packs and Hotfixes,[/li]

You have yet to make a convincing case for a repair reinstall of Windows. Before doing an in-place reapir installation I would seriously consider other options. Please read:
