    Problems after changing TEMP folder's location


    Hi.


    I'm asking here because I have a problem with my windows installation. To avoid damaging my SSD by too much writing, I tried to change the location of the TEMP folder for the user and for windows itself.


    I already did this on another computer and everything went perfect.


    But now, on this computer, everything is happening wrong. Some programs don't work, and a great part of installations fail. Especially the Discord installation, which tells that Squirell is doing it bad.


    I guess this is only a problem of wrong defined path, and I would like to know if there is a way to fix it, without having to reinstall Windows.


    Thank you very much!

    :)

    Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

    No tried that.

    Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

    any more suggestions
