How to set system TEMP and TMP to a different drive in Windows 10.

Hi Kens,



I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.



To change the location of the System Temp folder, follow the steps given below.

• 
  Right click on Computer and click on Properties. In the resulting window with the basic
  
  
  information about your computer
  
• 
  Click on Advanced system settings on the left panel resulting in a dialog box click on the advanced tab.
  
• 
  Click on the button near the bottom labeled Environment Variables.
  
• 
  You may see both TMP and TEMP listed in the section labeled User variables for (account). That's the common location; each different login account is assigned its own temporary location.
  
• 
  In the Variable value Edit box you may specify the path to the directory that Windows and many other programs will use for temporary files.
  

Be sure and repeat that process for both TMP and TEMP.

You'll need to restart any running programs for the new value to take effect. In fact, you'll need to restart Windows for it to begin using the new value for its own temporary files.





To change the location of the Internet Temp folder, follow the steps given below.

Note: That Internet Explorer moves cookies to the new folder and the old folder is removed. Additionally, the following message is displayed when you attempt to move the Temporary Internet Files folder:

Warning: Moving the location of your Temporary Internet Files folder will delete all your subscription data.

• Create a new folder to store the files. For example, if you want to store the files in a folder named Ietemp on drive D, create the following folder:
  

D:\Ietemp

For information about how to create a folder, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type
new folder, and then double-click the "New Folders" topic.

• Start Internet Explorer.
• On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
• On the General tab, click Settings.
• Click Move Folder.

What is the difference between %TEMP% folder and the TEMP folder in C:\Windows\TEMP ?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that you would like to know the difference between C:\ temp and %temp%. We will assist you.

Windows Temporary files are created by the operating system during the normal course of its running when there may not be enough memory allocated for the task.

Software which use large amounts of data like Graphics, Video or Media editing software also create temporary files.

Temporary files are also created for back up purposes by its respective programs. These temp files are left behind even after the task is over which leads to disk space usage.

The Temporary Files in Windows are typically found located in two locations:

• %systemdrive%\Windows\Temp
• %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp

The Temporary files created by the Windows operating system are usually stored in the %system%\Windows\Temp folderand this is where the system itself will put temporary files during installations.

The temporary files created by the User when running any software is stored in his user profile at %userprofiles%\AppData\Local\. The other folder typically located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp, is created for each User. This folder
is hidden and you will have to first ‘un-hide’ System folders from the Folder Options.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
