I sent this last week to PCSoft and received no replies.
So I'm trying again here.

I'm running Win98SE  and have noticed that upon each
bootup,  the system puts 2   .TMP files into the C:\Windows
folder.  Right now, I have 160 of these files, and each one
is zero bytes in size.    They have names like this:

fffc744b_{49759660-BED9-11D3-8B52-CD7FAA707135}.tmp
fffc744b_{49759661-BED9-11D3-8B52-CD7FAA707135}.tmp

They look like something that might be found in the Registry.

Questions:  What are they?  Why are they in the Windows
folder? Are they safe to delete?  How do I prevent this from
happening in the future?  Etc.

System Particulars:
PIII 450 MHz,  Intel 440BX AGPset
ASUS P3B-F Mobo
128 Mb SDRAM
Trident 8Mb SVGA card
Award BIOS v. 6.0
10.2 Gb Western Digital HD

Thanks for any advice,
