Lots of temp files in temp folder

I don't remember from which version on (perhaps it is the version which switches RAR skin file to ZIP file), KxMixer keeps leaving a lot of temp files like "~DFD42F.tmp" in the C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Temp folder. Why I am sure they are done by KxMixer? Do the following thing:

0, Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the temp folder.
1, Attempt to remove those files like "~DFD42F.tmp" in the temp folder. When deleting a certain file among them, Windows Explorer complains that the file is in use and can not be deleted, and the deletion operation will be aborted.
2, Close KxMixer.exe,
3, Repeat step 1, those files can be removed without any problem now.

Since each time when we boot the computer, we run KxMixer. After many boots, many temp files are left there. Please check to see what causes this problem and fix this issue.

Re: Lots of temp files in temp folder

Yeah, I noticed this as well back in 3538L, and reported it here: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/bug-repo...ml#post1002540

As mentioned in that thread, the issue appears to be with shutting down Windows, as normally kX removes the temp file that it is currently using when you quit kxmixer, but it does not do so when being shutdown from Windows shutdown, and thus everytime you reboot, another temp file is left behind.
