One of my girls was complaining that her computer deleted files all on it own.

Told her it was not possible.

One day I hear her screaming bloddy murder.

Go by her desk and told her to retrace her steps exactly.

She recreates the file and then goes to save it in the "Temporary Folder".

I asked her why she saved it there.

She replied that she always saves her stuff to a temporary spot and then files them later so the temp folder seemed like a natural place to save things.

I then asked her if she was aware that the application she was using creates a Temporary Folder when it launches to store it's cache, undo and similar files and when she quits the application the folder deletes itself along with everything in it?

Blank stare.
