temp directory in XP

How can I change the location of the temp directory. Dup-DVD uses this directory by default and of course it's on c:\ where my partition is smaller. So I would like to move it to e:\ where I have more space.
 
Press The Windows key+Pause.
Click Advanced.
Press Alt+N.
Under the two settings under User variables, double click each one and point to E\:Temp or wherever you want.
Under System Variables use the scroll bar to scroll to two more settings and point them to E:\Temp or wherever you want.
Click OK
Click OK
 
Thanks for the tip although that area does not have the variable for "C:\temp". It only has variables for C:\Windows and C:\Documents and Settings\insert username\Local Settings\Temp.
 
I prefer the old fashioned way. Go to System Properties, Advanced Tab, Environment Variables button at the bottom of the screen you see. A the top you'll see the variables for your temp directory.

My way is the same as Allan's - just uses keyboard shortcuts, not mouse clicks! ;-)
 
No argument alehouse - I just find it easier to navigate with my mouse. ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
