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...

Win XP and BleachBit 0.8.2

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

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.
