For SQL Server 2000, this should tell you only the #temp tables in your session. (Adapted from my example for more modern versions of SQL Server here.) This assumes you don't name your tables with three consecutive underscores, like CREATE TABLE #foo___bar:

SELECT 
  name = SUBSTRING(t.name, 1, CHARINDEX('___', t.name)-1),
  t.id
FROM tempdb..sysobjects AS t
WHERE t.name LIKE '#%[_][_][_]%'
AND t.id = 
  OBJECT_ID('tempdb..' + SUBSTRING(t.name, 1, CHARINDEX('___', t.name)-1));
