SYMPTOMS
========
The TEMP environment variable is set to a series of Xs in an MS-DOS virtual
machine (or command prompt).
CAUSE
=====
If the MS-DOS TEMP environment variable is set to a directory that does not
exist, Windows 95 automatically overwrites the variable with a series of Xs.
RESOLUTION
==========
To make sure that the TEMP environment variable is valid, use any one of the
following methods:
- Remove the SET TEMP statement from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- Create the directory that the TEMP environment variable points to.
- Change the SET TEMP statement to point to a directory that exists.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
