Mark, I cannot answer your question directly, but there are some very strange things about Temp and Temporary internet files. On my XP Pro system there is no Temp in c:\ but there is one along with Temporary Internet Files in c:\My documents and settings\administrator\Local Settings, and both containseveral mb of data. . However if I run the Disk Cleanup utility it reports that the space which can be recovered by deleting Temp files is zero! So perhaps it is looking for a Temp folder in c:\.
