depending on the operating system your web host is running (if it's a 
unix flavour or a winNT-type OS) you can always have them set the 
directory to write only (no read, no execute) and this would stop people 
from running programs..

yup.. and you have to, otherwise the file in the TEMP folder is deleted 
once your php script is done running..

 
> Can the TEMP folder be read as any other URL can?

not usually.. if your hosting place allows for it then yes, but usually 
it's only readable from the server end (ie. php) and not the client end 
(ie. MSIE, opera)
