How to Configure & Bind a TMP Directory

The Windows "tmp" variable points to the folder in which you keep temporary files. You can change the default folder to your own temporary folder stored on the computer. After you create the folder, you set up the directory in the Windows environment variable settings, which binds the folder to your computer's setup. After it's bound, any time your computer needs a temporary folder, it uses the folder you bound in the settings.
