Yes that would be the best thing to do. And that is what happens if you close
PMMail/2 before a shut down.
But in case of a crash or hanging system you do not get a chanche to do that.
The second best option is to reboot and go to the command line and delete the
files in the temp dir.
Then reboot again.

I will try the solution of Dan Riordan:
>Control-Shift-F1 while the blue screen is up prevents progs running at shutdown from being restarted. It might work.

But i would like to know why the files are opened at start up?
