Does Clover have any official notes or info on whether it can be used with other Explorer BHOs and shell extensions?
Their FAQ says:
"1. Code is hastily written, and it has a lot of problems."
So I suspect it is not designed to work with other shell extensions. |

You can use a batch file to delete the .tmp file and include the Rename command in that batch file.
