Remarks

IScratchWorkspaceFactory is used to create temporary personal geodatabases in the temp directory.  You can find this directory by looking at the %TEMP% environment variable.  The scratch personal geodatabase will have the name mx<number>.mdb where <number> is the global unique identifier that uniquely identifies the geodatabase.

Workspaces created by IScratchWorkspaceFactory.CreateNewScratchWorkspace will be automatically deleted when the last reference to them is released.
