i completely disagree, i have never had a problem scanning directories that my script created, whether it be created on the fly or be created statically. the average user of said compiled prgram isnt going to even know the directory was even created, much less change it contents. not to mention, you could lock the dir or every file in it,

also i think you are way off in left feild. if you have 100 pp programs running, then you will have 100 "temp" dir.. then when you run your program it will scan the dirs, then create its own. which can easily be singled out and filtered. i honestly dont know where the other stuff you mention would even come into play while /just/ scanning directories tbh

EDIT: the only thing that could be a problem is if the script/exe created the dir BEFORE the directory could be scanned.
