+### Choice of Directory Considerations
52
+
53
+When the Fossil server will be used at times that files may be locked
54
+during virus scanning, it is prudent to arrange that its directory used
55
+for temporary files is exempted from such scanning. Ordinarily, this
56
+will be a subdirectory named "fossil" in the temporary directory given
57
+by the Windows GetTempDir(...) API. Excluding this subdirectory will
58
+avoid certain rare failures where the fossil.exe process is unable to
59
+use the directory normally during a scan.
