Temp files
Hi there,
I've set my temp and system temp dirs in env. variables to some root dirs I've created for this purpose.
These are not being cleaned even though I check the "System" "Temporary Files" option.
Bug or "just the way it is"? ;-)
cheers...

Environment variables
Which environment variables? Most likely you want to create your owner cleaner in XML: read "Writing your owner cleaner in CleanerML"

Temporary files on Windows XP
BleachBit 0.8.2 on Windows XP cleans these temporary directories
%USERPROFILE%\local settings\temp
%windir%\temp\
You probably shouldn't change either of those environment variables.
