I guess that means no, I can't configure it. Changing every desktop
application is a bit more than I wanted to do. But if that is my only
option...

Hi,
I think if you have your temp files in the same folder, for instance, you
can exclude them, because you can exclude files or folders from replication
by following these steps:
http://technet2.microsoft.com/window....mspx?mfr=true

However, I'm not sure you have a better way to do it if the files have
random names and are all over the place...
Hope it helps!
