Emacs does not create backup files for simply reading a file. It does
create autosave files after the file is altered (though not
immediately), and it creates backup files when a file is saved. There is
no special treatment for %TEMP%.
All this is default behaviour, if you have customized any aspect of
Emacs's backup and autosave, YMMV.
