It's not too soon to start worrying about the next version of Windows and I am already losing sleep over it. The management software we sell has always created a special temp folder in the root of c: and put all FoxPro / VFP temp files there. This is a holdover from the old DOS days when hard drives were small and temp files could easily fill one. When our program starts it looks in there for any files over 2 days old with a .TMP extension and deletes them. Thus, the big report that crashed 200 times never fills the drive. Obviously we could not do this in the Windows temp folder as we don’t know what files belong to our program.

As I read the latest about Vista it seems that MS has decided to lock up everything. It looks like we won’t be able to just MD c:\ourtemp anymore if it does not exist. My question is this: what are the chances that we will be able to create sub folders in the windows temp folder. The temp folder is easily accessed and I am sure MS is not dumb enough to restrict access to it (I hope). I would like to keep the method we currently use if possible as it has worked well for almost 15 years.
TIA
