I am running Windows XP Pro and would like to change the default location of the TEMP folder Windows uses. Can the be changed in Windows XP?

I use Win2K, but it should be the same for XP.
Open the Control Panel -> System applet.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Environment Variables button.
These are the list of variables Windows uses. Just select the TEMP and TMP variables, and change the path to where they point to.

hope this helps
