Temp Folders 'MSIxxxxx.tmp' create at root directory

Hi,

Some problem..

1./ On the network drive, a temporary files "MSIxxxxx.temp" get created. 
(z:\MSIxxxxx.temp) i would like to know when and how it get created. (I think it happens when using ms office)

2./ I also would like to know if this happens because the temp directory 'write' privilege is set as blocked. 
Is the temp folder created on the Network drive directory due to the use of MS OFFICE on the network drive?

MSIXXXX.TMP is most likely an Update or any other program that installs those temporary files. Everything in the Temp folder may safely be deleted once the computer has been rebooted.  It doesn't matter what's in there, all files created in there were created on a temporary basis.

You can perform Disk Cleanup, which removes temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of system files and other items that you no longer need.
