I've noticed in Windows XP that the C:\Windows\Temp folder is a protected
system folder, and is "off limits" to most programs (for *their* own
temporary use). In fact, that fact seems to include all subdirectories
under C:\Windows. (This is very different from the previous operating
systems (W95, W98), and seems to create a small problem here for some of my
apps).
So I guess unless one messes around with the "Environment Variables", one
HAS to redirect all software being ported to Windows XP (from Win98/95), or
installed on Windows XP, to use some other temp directory instead for its
application program's temp files. Is that correct? If so, what
directory do most people use for the various program application's temp
files?
