Ok, I'll create the floppy either way to get rid of those files.
Thanks a lot for all the help, Noel !

Thanks for the solution but I'll be able to work on it only when the Startup Disk is created. Any possible simple solution? TIA. "Noel Paton" wrote: Fair enough..... Boot to DOS using your startup floppy (Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Startup DIsk) at the A: prompt type DELTREE C:\WINDOWS\TEMP when it asks for confirmation make SURE that you've got it right!!! type "y", and hit the return key - then wait for a while (about 30 minutes, possibly!!) When control returns to the a:\ prompt, remove the floppy, and reboot to Windows - it will recreate the TEMP folder as an empty one - hopefully solving your problem. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Baba" wrote in message ... ... Well, the pav files are in C:\windows\TEMP. ... Sorry, I havn't tried deleting them from DOS boot using a startup floppy because I'm not aware of the startup floppy nor the procedure for deleting from DOS boot.
