well, you don't want to do that. The prefix is placed for a reason ... it prevents clashes. For example, if you have a form where people are uploading pictures then chances are more than one person will have the image file name as me.jpg. So if two people upload with the same file name, then one of them gets over written. The prefix prevents this.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
How can I get rid of the temperary file name that is the prefix for uploaded files:
02_42_28_harr.html
to become:
harr.html
Thanks,

Thanks, this is the first time I've used this feature and I see what you mean.
