Adobe Reader TEMP file location
Hey, I have Adobe Reader 6.0 installed in 98se. Everytime I use it, it
leaves a folder in my TEMP folder. (like this): C:\Windows\Temp\Adobe\Acrobat\6.0 So everytime I clean out my temp folder this stupid folder with sub folders is in there. I get really tired of removing the damn thing. I decided to try to move it to the actual folder that contains the Adobe reader files (where it should be). I went to the "preferences" and cant find any setting for it. I looked for an .INI file in the adobe folder and there is none. How can I change this? I dont understand the purpose of it anyhow, there are never any files in these folders. The actual temp files created while a PDF are loaded are also in the windows\temp folder, always named Acr1234.TMP (the numbers change), but those go away on their own when I close the reader. It's not all that big of a deal, but I like to keep my temp folder clean in case some malware gets stached in there, so it's always one extra step to remove that damn folder. There must be some way to change it, but I sure cant find out where. Thanks |

: Adobe "don't"??? You mean doesn't. :-) Aye, that I do. I was just allowing for the corporate block to have some individual identities buried inside happily expressing themselves and making their presense felt. Silly mistake. It won't happen again. Just be very careful with deltree and its parameters, as it's very powerful (e.g. it takes out all subdirectories, too). That's what's so good about it. But sure, be careful where you point it. People think the blunderbuss was a gun that did not need careful aim. it did, because otherwise there is waste, maybe huge collateral damage. That's the real reason no-one uses them now. Unless they WANT crude nasty weapons, then they cut the barrels off... That's not even a good analogy, but never mind. |

I figured that was not an option. Adobe seems to always make their software without much user settings. At least half the PDF files I get these days bring up a nag warning that I need a newer version of Acrobat. Yet these files load perfectly fine. If there was a way to tell the damn program to quit bugging me, I would.... I dont want any newer version of it. They are resource hungry and bloated. (and may not run in Win98). I sure wish there was an alternative besides Foxit. Foxit was regularly locking up, so I got rid of it. Several years back it worked fine, but I guess the newest PDF files caused it to lockup. I cant understand why they need to keep bloating PDF files anyhow. All they do is load text and pictures. Why does that need to be complicated? Oops, I forgot.... This is 2012. EVERYTHING has to be complicated and bloated to satisfy the young generation...... Thanks ---- Remember when a radio only had two knobs.... Volume and Tuning.... And they actually worked too !!!! |
