The Kill Function does not support Wildcards.
You'll need to get the filename of every file in the temp directory using the FindFirstFile, FindNextFile API Functions and delete them individually or execute a batch file ( using Shell() ) which has the following contents:

CODE
@echo off
cd <put directory here>
del /q *.*

Interesting, I hope this works.
Just remember that FSO's require you to have the appropriate permissions to create/edit/delete files.
