SYMPTOMS
When you are running the Microsoft Exchange client for Windows 95, files with the an extension of .TMP appear on the desktop.



CAUSE
This is caused by an invalid environment variable pointing to the desktop directory. For example:

  set temp=c:\desktop



RESOLUTION
Set the temp variable to a valid location in the Autoexec.bat file. Add the following lines to this file:

  Set Temp=[drive]:\%windir%\Temp Set Tmp=[drive]:\%windir%\Temp

where drive is the drive letter where Windows 95 is installed and %windir% is the name of the Windows 95 directory. Make sure that the Temp directory exists in the %windir% tree.
