In Windows 7, temporary files are stored in a different location compared to Windows XP. The %temp% environment variable still exists in Windows 7, but it now points to a different path. Here are the common locations where temporary files are stored in Windows 7: 1. User-specific Temporary Files: - The user-specific temporary files are typically stored in the following path:

 C:\Users\{Your Username}\AppData\Local\Temp

You can access this location by using the %temp% environment variable in Windows 7 as well. 2. System-wide Temporary Files: - System-wide temporary files in Windows 7 are stored in:

 C:\Windows\Temp

3. Internet Explorer Temporary Files: - Temporary files related to Internet Explorer are stored in a different location:

 C:\Users\{Your Username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Overall, if you are looking for temporary files in Windows 7, you can use the %temp% environment variable or navigate to the specific locations mentioned above to access and manage these temporary files.
