Run time files

[TheSolitaryOne]

I noticed that when we execute some applications, a temporary file with hidden attribute is created in the same folder as the application file and it exists till the application runs. Then its deleted automatically. Can somebody tell me what they are?

I don't think that when you run any exe application there is any files created in same folder!!!!
Ya indeed its created in temp folder of operating system.... and all the installtion data is taken from that files during installation....
 
But when you run files like word or access...etc,
temparory file is created in same folder.... and may be that is because when you edit something in your file it store in that temparory file and when you save it, all edited data stored in original file....

Care to tell us what are those applications? I know for sure that MS Word 2003 does that.

If an executable makes temporarily files within the same folder, it probably is dll's or other resources it needs to run. But then again, I could be wrong.

As Kulverstukas said, what applications are we talking about?

as i said any exe application doesen't create temp files in same folder....
but as some software appliocation make some temp files in same folder like word or access or any office application..
