Windows Temp Folder in My Documents
C>Documents&settings>my name>local settings>temp is the location I am talking about. I am wondering if I can delete all the files in this folder? I know you can delete all the stuff in the Windows Temp folder, but this one is in this location. Thanks for the help

Generally, any files in here are safe to delete. If anything is currently being used, Windows will complain and not let you delete it. You may want to sort by date - and get rid of anything older than a couple of days. Installation programs will use this folder for things that they must do when you reboot. So be sure to always re-boot your machine just before you start deleting stuff.

This is a way to edit the paths in the registry of a certain user.
Have a look in the follwing registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
In here you may find what you want.

Actually, I realise I was wrong, tosh9iii is correct.
Right click on My Computer and go to Properties. Select the Advanced tab and click on Environment Variables. In the top box there will be a TEMP setting, just change that.
