Hello,

I'm trying to install a game demo.  A message comes up saying that I need to free up 90 megs of space from drive C just so that the installation files can extract (not install).  Its not an option for me to free the space up.  I need to be able to tell Windows to use a different drive as the Temp drive/folder but don't know how to change the location.

How can I change windows 98's default temp folder location so it will use one of my other drive's space to extract files by default?  Is it in the registry settings somewhere?

I'm running Windows 98 1st Ed & have the swap file set to use drive H.

Thanks for your help,

Brian Burggraff
