Setting Temp File Location

[guava65]

For some reason my temp files are showing up on my desktop (Word).

I would I go about designating another location for the files?

Thanks in advanced.

Go into Word, Tools, Options. Check location paths for various items are not set to the desktop or C:\documents and Settings\profile name etc,

Are you saving your documents to the Desktop? If you are, don't. It is very bad practise as the Desktop is probably the most vulnerable place in Windows.

Make sure that none of the paths under Tools, Options, FIle Locations are pointing at your desktop.
