Anybody have any idea hwo to change the windows xp temp dir? I'm outa space on C: \ need to change the folder to E: \TEMP - I tried adding TEMP=E: \TEMP to autoexec.bat but thats not done anything.

Another method I'm less confident in trying is editing the registry to change the Doc & Settings location - never done that before so I dont know how that would work.

This is all because I wanna patch Battlefield2 to 1.1 for Special Forces and the patchers are asking for 2.6GB spare on Ec: \ which I just cant do right now, BF2's installed on E: \.

Thanks for any help - don't take the thread as an opportunity to brag about your hard drive size or tell me to buy another one, hans most likely!

- Also got 3 more invites for TorrentLeech.org PM email addys if ya want one lol - and no I don't work for them, doing it as a favour to you guys.

Right click on My Computer and click properties, Click on the Advanced tab. Click on Environment Variables.

You have 4 options you need to change, 2 under user variables, 2 under system variables. It should be pretty obvious which ones you need to change.

Main Workstation: Q6600@3.4ghz/Abit IP35 Pro/8GB DDR2/NVidia 8800GTS (G92)/WD 640GB HDD/Vista Ultimate x64

Storage Server: Q6600/8GB DDR2/Dell Perc5i RAID Controller/2x250GB HDD in RAID1/4x500GB in HDD in RAID10/4x1TB HDD in RAID5/OpenFiler 2.3 OS

ESX Hosts (2): Q6600/8GB DDR2/250GB HDD/ESX 3.5 OS
