📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user’s issue with a specific user account defaulting to its personal temp folder (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp) instead of the system-wide temp folder (C:\Windows\Temp), despite the environment variable being set. The respondent explains that user profiles typically use their own temp locations by default and suggests removing or modifying the environment variable through Group Policy or scripting to enforce the use of the system temp folder. Overall, the conversation addresses how to standardize temp folder usage across users by adjusting environment variables.

In windows default temp folder location is C:\Windows\Temp and its setup in environment variable but for one of user its not using this folder and its goes to user default temp folder like C:\User\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp.

How I can make user its not use user leave temp folder and always use the C:\Windows\Temp.

Thanks

All users by default will have and use their profile temp locations. You'd have to remove the environment variable from all users via GPO or script
