SUMMARY
=======

Windows 95 creates a folder called Temp in the Windows folder if one does not
already exist. If you delete the Temp folder, Windows 95 re-creates the folder
the next time you start Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you have a TEMP environment variable set in your Autoexec.bat file, Windows
95 preserves the setting for MS-DOS-based programs to use. However, Windows 95
creates and maintains a Temp folder for its own use and the use of Windows-based
programs.

Additional query words: tmp
