Setting the GPTEMP or GPKEEP Environment Variable


You can set these environment variables to control where INI files are stored or where temporary files are created. Its best to set them to short directory names which do not contain spaces or non-English characters. For example, you could set:

GPTEMP to C:\temp

GPKEEP to C:\mystuff

To see what Environment variables are set, open a Command prompt, and type SET or SET | more.

To set Environment variables in Windows XP, select My Computer, then right-mouse-click and select Properties | Advanced | Environment Variables

In Windows 7 you can set environment variables by selecting from Windows:

Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced | Environment Variables
