How to change user TEMP and TMP environment variables

[Michael]

This should be easy, but I couldn't find the way how to do it.

I would like to change default users TEMP and TMP environment
variables from
"%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp" to something like "c:\TEMP" for
all users.

When I create new user in SAM this settings should be automaticaly
applied. I tried to change registry value:
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Environment
but variables stay the same - default even for new created users. Is
there some other registry key.

Thanks for help, Michael

Hi Michael,

The changes can be made here per user: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment

The difference between HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Environment is that there, the
type is REG_EXPAND_SZ as compared to a string value (REG_SZ) under HKCU.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER exist when new user is created. I would like to
change default TEMP folder mapping for all new created users on XP
workstation (users all created by zenworks automaticaly). Manualy
modifying this environment variables is not an options.
