Would want "some proof" after I get done cleaning house!

I use VLC and Windows Media 11. I'm not sure if one or both of them are creating those "preview" file. I'm donwloading as we speak and when the file gets to about 5% I'll see what happens. Be back at ya in a few minute! Don't touch that bat dial!

Ok...here's the proof you requested. (see screenshot)

The music file was previewed by the default media player and the movie file was previewed with VLS. Now, the longer you preview, the bigger the preview files get. You'all come back now, hear.

Added another screenshot from a different angle.

RP, My media player does the same thing but all you have to do is left click and hold down as you go down all of the previwed files and you can delete all of them at the same time. I am using 4.13.10 Pro and this takes about 5 seconds to get ride of all the incomplete and previews.

I know how to delete files, my gosh. "I" shouldn't have to, is the point I'm trying to make here. I'd just like to know why LW doesn't delete them. Make LW look into the incomplete folder and delete: t-*.*

Simple as that!

Sorry Dude, Just not that big a deal for me. I also have 3 kids: 15 year old twin boys and a twelve yr. old daughter and they all know to delete the said files when there done.

Simple as that

You know what. I've grown sick of trying to discuss this issue.

You seem to be acting as though I'm trying to nic pick over this BS.
Thank what you want. I'm done with it!!! Hea staff: DELETE the freaking topic.

P.S. Been married 31 years, have 3 grown sons and a 19 year old daughter. 6 grand childrenn too. My yorkie is named Bruno!

Since I asked you to supply samples of your problem, and you have, I hope you don't mind too much if I carry this topic a little bit further.

As I said in my previous post, I too use VLC as my primary media player and I can quite categorically say that it does not create or leave preview files behind after previewing/playing an incomplete file.

Nevertheless, your spontaneously created PDF files which you call preview files, are usually files that are specially prepared documents compressed into PDF format. For example, most user guides are now displayed on a website, as PDF files, where you can download and print them out. PDF files should not be created by previewing a film clip.

You know, I have a feeling that your PCs security may have been compromised because, as you know, PDF are compressed files and as such can carry a booby-trapped payload. And as you delete them from your system before they can grow any bigger then you are relatively safe.

Sorry Rpbizzle, my paranoia would be working overtime if I saw files on my PC that spontaneously appeared or just weren’t suppose to be there.

Those files are not created into a pdf format and the only way they are created is through the use of LW. It doesn't matter which media player is used to preview the files.

More proof attached.
