SYMPTOMS
Temporary (temp) files remain on your hard drive after you close Internet Assistant and exit Windows.

CAUSE
Temp files may remain for one of the following reasons:

  You were using Internet Assistant to download files using the FTP protocol. By design, Word stores these files as temp files. If the files are zipped files, you will get a packager object in your HTML document, with a caption such as the following: ~wia0000.zip

Right Click to Edit If you are downloading documents, the documents will appear in your temp directory as ~wia0000.doc

~wia0000.htm  Internet Assistant creates temp files to keep track and store the contents of files and images as it is opening and browsing the Internet. After some browsing sessions, temp files may remain.

RESOLUTION
Exit Windows and delete any unnecessary temp files.

To save FTP files, do the following:


 * 1) Click the right mouse button over the embedded object.
 * 2) Choose Save As.
 * 3) Type the location and name of your file.
 * 4) Choose OK.
