>>>A client site is running an FPD2.6 app under 95 & NT. The app is started with a -CPath\Config.FP command line switch. The specified CONFIG.FP includes the line TMPFILES=C:\. For some reason, these temp files appear on the desktop while the app is running. They disappear after a normal shutdown but are left there if the app crashes. Can quickly lead to a very messy desktop.
