Many Windows programs to leave junk in the Temp directory.  That is why 
Disk Cleanup has the option to clean that directory.  So changing the 
behavior of PythonWin to your liking will not change anything else ;-)  You 
should also select Delete Temporary Internet Files.  I suspect that too few 
users of Outlook Express know that it copies download media files of at 
least some types to a subdirectory of that directory and does *not* delete 
that copy when one does 'delete all downloaded files'.  I just check 
everything in Disk Cleanup and have never had a problem.  I also defragment 
regularly.
