Maybe using your favorite text editor is the origin of the problem.
Perhaps because its window isn't properly setup and the way it uses
memory is upsetting the IE window. That is a good cause for a GPF.

If you have your files turning up in multiple directories then there
is some problem. Maybe also add TMP=C:\Wfw\temp  with TEMP=C:\Wfw\temp
to be sure. Programs look for a C:\WINDOWS\TEMP though.

Size is a bugger but it also speeds access a lot to have the buffers
on hand. I'd say to get rid of those you don't plan to visit anytime
soonest.
