Redirect TEMP using NSIS Submitted by Simeon on August 2, 2007 - 11:56am
Does anyone know how to redirect the TEMP variable to a different folder so the host PC's folder doesnt get filled with "portable" files? ( categories: )

It seems like a lot of work
It seems like a lot of work with the registry.
For sure you have to change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\TEMP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\TMP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\(...I have 4 keys here)
It may not be enough, I'd try to redefine also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetxxx\Control\Session Manager\Environment\TEMP and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetxxx\Control\Session Manager\Environment\TMP , which needs administrative rights.

Isnt it enough to change the system variable TEMP/TMP?
