In my windows directory, I have over a 1000 of these .TMP files that look similiar to this: fffe0615_{7C301EE1-9C30-11D6-B287-E2A8FE440134}.tmp Can these be safely deleted? Thanks! Scott

You can delete anything that comes up using the Find - Files or folders, for *.tmp.

You can also delete the contents of the Windows\temp folder.

Here's a link to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article which tells you where those files are coming from, and how to stop getting more of them.

MSKB article 221438

Paul D - No more fancy sig - this site is just too bloody slow!

Amanda,

You might want to check the .TXT files to see what they are for, before you start 
deleting them. Log files can usually be deleted, BUT it's not noted on this site, 
that you should NOT delete install.log files. Programs need those, when you go to 
uninstall them. 

Myself, I save a lot documents as text files, rather than using the .DOC extension 
that MS Word uses. There'll probably be a lot of Readme.txt files, and if you know 
the how to for what they're related to, those can pile up, so get rid of them, if 
you no longer need them.
