Hi,
I am having a trouble setting up a common temp path to all the users logging on the system. Basically the application which runs in systems in my network created huge temp files and I am using roaming profiles. Now to prevent from creating temp files in the user profile directories I am trying to put the temp files to a local directory. I tried using " set temp=c:\temp " in the logon script it seems to execute but unfortunatley it doesnt apply for a new command box. can any one help me for setting the default temp path regardless of the logins ?
regards
senthil

senthil,
You said, "it seems to execute"... Does a C:\Temp directory exist
and you're verifying that the variable is set using the Set command?
Have you tried setting the global Temp variable using Autoexec.bat?
If the environment variable is being set properly this may not help,
but in your login script try enclosing the value in quotation marks,
e.g;
set temp="c:\temp"
Please post back if this doesn't work with it
and provide whatever further details you can.
