How to change temp directory?

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

As we know, by default TMP and TEMP variables are pointed to =C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp

How I can change this for all existing local users?
In fact, if I'll be able to change Winzip setting for temorary dir, it will be enough.(there is no enough free space on C:, and I'd like to re-point it to D:.)

thanks,
Vitaly

You can change in the environment settings, under my computer properties.

Hi Vitaly

You can change from it: Control panel - Performance and Maintenance - System - Advanced tab.

Right Click on "My Computer" goto "Properties. Click on the "Advanced" tab. Then click on "Environment Variables".

Here you will find you User and System Variables. Hope this helps!

Dear All, thanks for your answers! I know about this tab, but AFAIK this way I can change user settings only for *current* user. And I need change TEMP variable for *all* users.

hi

Try this:

Open regedit and find the tree:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment

Good luck!

Thanks to all!
Unfortunately, it seems that current versions of MS Win don't provide a answer to my question.
