found bakups of code I never asked for ---


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hey everyone.

I was looking around my file system today when I stumbled ac ross
A -COMPLETE- bakup of every piece of python code I ever coded in the
folder...

C:\Documents and Settings\edit.edit\Local Settings\Temp\bak

Can someone tell me were the options are for turnin this bakup feature on
and off??

I have current Python build installed, ie 2.3.4 and also Pythonwin same
build..

I cannot remember selecting any option in the setup to bakup my code this
way, so I was wondering were the feature for it actualy is???

I probably would like to keep it, just in case of any file corruption
problems, but it would be ncie to no that I ALSO turn the feature of as
well.

Thanks.

You should/can run Accessories/System Tools/Disk Cleanup periodically with
'clear temp files' checked. Will solve more problems than just this.

Sure. Open up Internet Explorer, and type in "apple.com".

From the Pythonwin editor, look under View->Options->editor.
The 'Backups' field lets you turn it off or change the backup directory.
