Changed location of 'TMP' and 'Temp' in Variables but no Temp files?

Before changing the file associations, could you at least tell us if the user temp files were shown while Windows Photo Viewer displayed a picture?

There are NO image files in either of the new folders, I rebooted twice - looked twice - a LOG file was created in the SYSTEM folder but as you can see the USER folder is empty...?

But I was told an image didn't get generated that often?

And they are redirected correctly..

Screen captures:

Did you have a picture open via Windows Photo Viewer while you looked for TMP files?

Of course I did, tried jpg and tiff.......

You can't open Windows Photo Viewer without clicking on an image file..

There is nothing to open in Programs, Accessories, Control Panel, and in my C: drive under both Program files for WPV there are no executable files, mainly DLLs

As far as I know, you cannot have Windows Photo Viewer showing a picture without it creating at least one temp file in the user's temp folder. As soon as you close Windows Photo Viewer, the temp file(s) should go away.

Like I said, I'll let others say that you have moved these folders correctly. There are security issues related to these temp folder. By default, an admin user is not even allowed to read the contents of the OS temp folder.




As far as getting your other apps to be associated with images/pictures: you can use file association of re-install the apps.

Sorry but this makes No sense to me?

Are you telling me I have to right click on every file with different extensions and change the program that it's associated with? (there must be an easier way)

Variable redirect :

I went to my Users Folder on the C:\ Drive and clicked on my Username > then went to \AppData\Local\Temp

While that was open I opened a second Windows Explorer, then click on an image which opened in Windows Photo Viewer

In the first Windows explorer located in Users\My Username\AppData\Local\Temp -I could see image files being created and after closing the WPV they vanished

> So the new Variable path I placed to the newly created E:\AppData\Local\Temp -Is not working, or should be placed somewhere else to change the users temp files..?

We posted at the same time;
I know how to change the default location by right clicking but what a pain in the ass until all my defaults are changed. I work with 20+ different file types.......

Please ask someone else to help with my user Temp location change?

Thanks!
