  Windows 95/98/NT all provide a "temp" directory under the Windows
directory.  Most older applications will respect the path specified in
a TEMP or TMP environment variable, so set these in AUTOEXEC.BAT to
point to this Windows temp directory.
  You should not have to search across all drives/all folders for any
orphaned temporary files, unless you are very cramped for space on the
drive where Windows is installed.
