Correct....the ones ending ususally in *.tmp. There will be others with
different extensions, so moving them out to a new folder would be advisable
until you see if they are needed (they never are, grin).

Super to hear that you are progressing so well. But I still think you
should dump Adaptec 4 and get Roxio 5 or 6.
