I am running windows 2k pro with word XP pro on a network with 30 computers. I noticed my hard drives filling up. On investigation the
“c:\winnt\system32\spool\printers” folder was full of .tmp files. I know you can safely delete these files but I had 2gig of them. I thought they should delete themselves. The computers in question are never shut off. Does anyone know why these files aren’t automatically deleted?

Thank you.
Leon
