  strcat (buffer, "mux");

so it generates random ".mux" file in "C:\\". I want to remove those generated ".mux" file from "C:\\" to "C:\\Mytemp" folder .

Answer 1

Since you're on Windows, you could use GetTempFileName, passing GetTempPath's result as the first argument. Example on how to use it is here:

Answer 2

according to man tmpnam

The pathname that is created, has a directory prefix P_tmpdir.  (Both L_tmpnam and P_tmpdir are defined in  <stdio.h>

change that string to particular directory you want to store file
