By far the best methody would be to put it into a policy (adm) template...
POLICY "Set User Temporary Environment Variables"
EXPLAIN "Sets the user TEMP and TMP environment variables. Useful for
applications that cannot handle long path names or spaces."
KEYNAME "Environment"
PART "TEMP=" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "TEMP"
DEFAULT "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp"
EXPANDABLETEXT
END PART
PART "TMP=" EDITTEXT
VALUENAME "TMP"
DEFAULT "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp"
EXPANDABLETEXT
END PART
END POLICY
Cheers.

A traditional *.bat or *.cmd file running during login for users with a
value of "SET Temp = C:\temp" will never translate into a new Temp path for
your users. SET commands run from Dos (scripts) on windows NT hosts, only
SET variables within the Dos window session they spawn from. As soon as
that Dos window closes those SET commands are gone.
Importing a predefined registry keys would do it - you would get them from
"HKCU\Environment"
Or Kix / VBS / WSH scripts would be able to define a temp variable for your
folks during the login process.
If you were to manually edit a user's temp path while they were logged in,
it would effect for them when ever the explorer.exe process within their
session was reset, or once they logged into the system again.

Are you doing it using a script? It is a per-user setting.
If you are manually modifying the registry keys then 2 logons might be
required for it to take effect.

Subject: [THIN] Temp and Tmp variables
I am trying to change the path for the temp and tmp variables for each
user session on our servers. I know this is an easy change but for the
life of me, nothing I do is working. Can anyone tell me what I am
missing here.
Thanks,
Michael Boggan
