I have 1,900+ objects taking up 467 MB of space in my C:\WINNT\Temp\ folder.

Is it OK to delete everything in there, including folders? There's mostly
..TMP files, but also some others like ._mp, .dll, .txt, .exe, etc...

Many files are prefixed, "LBnnn.TMP" or "JETnnn.TMP" or "OLnnn.TMP". What is
creating these temp files, and why aren't they automatically deleted when
it's done?
 
With no applications and or installs running and after restart, you can
delete the files from the %temp% directory.
