Setting the Temporary Directory using the GUI

The temporary directory may be viewed or set using the Desktop GUI. Select Tools > Options > General Options > General  > Directories. Select the Override check box to enter a directory path name or to click to bring up a directory file browser dialog box, from which you can select a temp directory. Values set in this manner are written to the user_machine level configuration file for the temporary directory. If the Override check box is cleared, the user_machine level setting for the temporary directory is changed to an empty string when you click OK. This enables settings from the next highest precedence config file. The config file which provides the currently active temporary directory setting is shown under the Temp field if the Override check box is cleared.
