The temporary file location is defined in the autoexec.bat file of the local PC by the line:

          SET TMP=C:\TEMP    (pointing to your favorite temp directory)

   If there is no temporary directory set up, the temp files will be    placed in the working directory defined in the icon properties.

   If there is no working directory defined, the temp files will go in    the windows directory.
