Change the temporary memory location in windows

[NSA_CIA]

Can any one tell me the method to change the temporary memory in windows that means moving temporary memory file to another location or increase the memory size (temp folder memory).

Windows Temporary Files (Temp files) store Windows and other programs temporary files. In MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, the temporary folder is set by the environment variable TEMP. Originally the default was c:\Temp, then %WINDIR%\Temp. Windows Temporary Files directory can become cluttered and contain files from programs you no longer have installed or files which may violate your privacy.

Start the registry editor >Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment Double click on the variable, e.g. temp and edit the value. Once complete click OK >Close the registry editor, another method to change the temporary memory in windows go to Control Panel, System Advanced and click on 'Environment Variables'.Set both tmp and temp to D:\Temp and create a new Temp folder on D.
