"Relocate Temp folder"

[Me]

Is there anyway of changing the location of the temp folder?

As Aaron pointed out, you can use the Set command to change the Temp and Tmp
environment variables. But these are on a per user basis, and would need
to be re-done after each boot/logon.

You can also change these in System properties, Advanced, Environment
Variables and make these changes permanent.

The affected Registry keys are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session
Manager\Environment

and

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
