    Temp folder location for standard user


    Hi, I have two users in my PC - 'admin' and 'me'. I use 'me' for normal use, and switch to 'admin' only if I need to do something specific.I have changed all temp paths, in environment variables, for 'admin' to point to 'c:\_Temp\'. When I login as 'me', different paths, which point to location under c:\Users-folder, are used: if I open command prompt and type 'cd %temp%' it changes location to c:\Users...If I open the environment variables settings, while logged in as 'me', admin password is required, and after entering it, paths for 'admin' are shown.And finally the question: how do I set te

    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

    location of temp folder

    Hi Sam

    The Temp folder in Windows 10 is located here (replace UserName with your account name):

    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp

    In File Explorer, to be able to see that folder, on the View Ribbon, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items'

    May I ask can you please provide the exact text of the error you are seeing, including any dialog heading and what are you doing when this pops up?
