In order to update an application on a Windows 2003 Server box, the application calls for 2.0 GB of free space in the System's Temp directory. The OS is on C:\ , and there is only 1 GB of free space there…. The server has a RAID configuration for its data on the system's E:\ . There is over 100GB of free space on E:\ . When I did a
set tmp
I found that the system's TEMP directory is not surprisingly located on C:\ ….
TMP = C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.DES\LOCALS~1\Temp
I assume it is possible to change the System Temp directory to the be located on E:\ ? How is this done, where's a good place to stick it, and is it safe to do this ?

You're looking at your user variables, not the system variables. Go to system properties, advanced tab, environment variables button, and set the TEMP and TMP variables in the system variables section.
