Errors with SD+ on WinXP SP2

In the past I have had difficulties starting SD+ on WinXP from time to time. I would also have problems with reports being created and the dreaded 501 error coming up. I have been testing a lot and found a lot of these problems are created because %temp% and windows\temp directories have far too many files in them. This inhibits the creation of the #sql* file and things seem to crash.

Perhaps SD+ should use a temp directory under the <sdhome> directory instead as Windows is notorious for not cleaning up after itself. That and thousands of files in one directory and things slow right down causing creation of new files to take a lot longer than normal.
