hi guys

been a while I know and hopefully this hasn't been asked before - I have had a quick look but couldn't find anything. I have one question that I think you guys can help with regarding USB flash keydrives. Ok I'm talking about using these purely in windows environment (98 and XP) so please no answers regarding *nix for the moment. Say you write a document in word, notepad etc and then save it immediately to the flash drive... does the document you have written get stored anywhere in windows like in a temporary file? I assume it would get stored in the memory cache (which would be wiped when the computer is powered down) but would it get written to the HD at any point e.g. in the swap file? If so does anyone know where?

what if you access a file off a USB drive, not saving it or altering it at any point - would that get written to the HD as a temporary file?

cheers all
