Yes, they do work, but also write lock their temp files.

My 'problem' is that I am trying to copy some files out of the temp=20
directory, that are being created by Internet Explorer, that are=20
'complete' but write locked until the window/tab using them closes,
which immediately deletes them.

Windows explorer insists that it have full write access to the file to=20
do a copy, so it cannot access them while they are associated with some=20
other program.

Using the suggested 'backup' program(s) did work, but at the cost of=20
having to set up a 'backup session' pointing to where I wanted to push=20
the files. A small effort to accomplish what I wanted.

Thank you for the recommendations.
If Windows Explorer were not so frustrating to users, I doubt that=20
others would have bothered to write so many 'better' replacements.
