Temporary File

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup to post this in, so I'll first
apologize if it isn't.

So here is my question/problem.  I am trying to use the Windows program,
"Disk Cleanup.exe" to clean up some files I placed in an end-users temporary
directory.  But the program "Disk Cleanup.exe", doesn't see these as
temporary files, so it doesn't work the way I need it to.  Below, is what
I'm doing.

I have a database application that stores BLOB files.  In this application,
I have a procedure that is used to view these files.  When the end-user
clicks the "View File"  I basically do the following step:
  1 - Copy file to local temporary directory
  2 - Rename it (prefix "tmp_" + FILENAME)
  3 - Open it

Server OS - Windows 2000 Server
Database Server - Microsoft SQL Server 2000

PC OS - Windows 2000 Pro & Windows XP Pro
File Type(s) - any type that can be placed into a BLOB field
  (JPG, BMP, Word, Excel, etc...)

Is there something I'm missing.  Some file attribute that is supposed to be
set to "Temporary" so that Windows knows it's a temporary file?  Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Randel Bjorkquist
