At the time of new file saving and opening an existing document, I see also the temporary files listed.
I like if I can do without those unwanted files listed.
I request someone help me.

I actually like having the option to see those files. Whether they are Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SWX, or other, they go away when I close the parent files. The only time I see them hanging around when they shouldn't is if the application crashes. In other words, I see these temporary files hanging around in some of my SWX directories.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with PDM.
I do, I just ignore them...It'd be nice to toggle them off. I wonder if anyone from SW has anything to say on the matter?
I know Nadia Shea works for my VAR and she's sometimes on the forum. I believe she's good with PDM (my recollection may be off, though). Got any tricks to fix this with PDM, Nadia?
Thanks for the shout out.
My recommendations would be the Windows Explorer options already given. This behavior is by default controlled by those options. PDM does not have any options to control the view of those temp files. You could change user/group settings to 'Show only files that are part of the file vault' but I think it's actually good to see those temp files. It indicates the native application for that file type is not properly shutting down or release it's resources.
After that, I would ask if the local vault view is shared or private and what Windows User created the local vault view? I have seen corporate IT security generate some unexpected behavior in PDM vault views and those two questions above usually provide some unique insight into what is causing that.
When we added PDM here I think that each of us designers asked this question sooner or later. To date we have not found an answer. It would be great if there is some way to hide them.
Have you tried this fix from the Javelin blog?
SOLIDWORKS PDM Vault View Grey Folder and Local Files
Here are the relevant settings in the PDM admin tool (access this by right clicking on Users and clicking Settings).
this aren't backup files - those are temporary files created by windows. when u close file in SW corresponding file wiht '~' will also dissapear
If you find a option for it - please do share
