Hello Joseph Pawlicki, if others have encountered it's already obvious that I haven't [:)], the .tmp files are probably used when PM is updated. how can there be an access issue not impossible, several reasons (not a complete list): pending action (especially delete ), file system corruption (ACL order), disk error. As you can delete them after a reboot I'd rule out the latter two. BTW - which of the Properties tabs and information can you access? I'd suggest the following: Use Sysinternals' Process Monitor to check the operations on these files, search for existing handles with Process Explorer . As this is a PM/Exchange host you probably want to avoid reboots, but I'd also check whether a "normal" reboot releases the files and their state - i.e. verify that the Security tab is again available and inspect General Properties and Permissions. Can't say if this will explain what's going on or lead to a solution. Christian
