More info?)
sorry there r no instructions on how to edit the
environmental varibles no matter how many times u tell me
how to go to the help files for them....
i cannot find an explanation for changing a path that
looks like this: %userprofile%\localsettings\temp
that string is pointing to my c drive and i would like to
change it to my f drive. how this is done is not
explained in any of the files u r referring to, even
the "related topics" which actually just run u in a
circle back to where u start.
will u try and edit the TEMP varible yourself so that we
could uderstand eachother better please.
