General ⇒ Decluttering your working directory

[danep]

When I build my LaTeX documents, 4-5 temporary files are produced each time. I understand that some of these are intermediate files necessary for certain features (i.e. tables of contents) to work, but they are certainly not something that I need to see. For the same reason, simply using a script to relocate them might not be the best idea, as I expect it would break functionality. Does anyone know of a way to hide these files, either by actually setting their "hidden" attribute or by having them be stored in a separate .tmp folder?

My setup consists of Miktex, generating using pdflatex, editing in Texniccenter on Windows. Thanks!

Ah, nevermind, I just stumbled across the --aux-directory switch for MikTex! I don't know how I missed this before.
