    I go in and clean up periodically. I find several things I do not know for sure what are and others I know what are, but do not know how to prevent from recurring. Anyone have ideas about these?
    • C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Temp\usgthrsvc
      • These files are Microsoft Search Gatherer Transaction Logs and contain references to my FireFox cache files
      • These .tmp files cannot be deleted since they are always open to some process
        • Ntf2912.tmp
        • Ntf2913.tmp
    • C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\eHome\Logs
      • Related to looking for updates to Windows Media Center
      • Reset to Monthly rather than Daily in Task Scheduler, but would still like to suppress the log
        • mcstore-mcupdate-2007.8.21.22.20.48.log


    This appears to have have been resolved by stopping the ehtray service, ...

    • C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp
      • Related to Windows Media Center
      • The .txt file is open to some process, so the .txt file cannot be deleted
        • ehmsas.txt

    This appears to have have been resolved by removing the Task Scheduler entry for LPRemove, ...

    • C:\WINDOWS\Temp
      • Language Pack Setup Files
        • lpksetup-20070822-083040-0.log

    ...bump....

    Anyone? Particularly the mcstore-mcupdate...log files as they spawn new datasets regularly.
