Move the Temp Files Location for CD Recording How to

You can move the location where XP stores temporary files for recording to a CD.

This you might want to do if there isn't enough space on the default drive. Here's how: -

Log on as Administrator, put a blank CD in the recorder drive and open the drive in Windows Explorer. If any files are waiting to be written to CD, delete them. Click Start > Run and type without the quotes “ cmd “to open a command/DOS window. Type set and press ENTER. This shows you the path for the current user profile. Make a Note it. Now open the Computer Management console (Right click on My Computer and select Manage). Click Disk Management. Find unallocated disk space on a partition where you want to move the temporary files. Right click the unallocated space and select New Partition. Use the wizard to create a primary partition at least 700 MB in size. Do not assign a drive letter. Instead, mount the drive to:- \Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning Accept the default (NTFS) file system. Click Next, then Finish. Now the temporary files will be stored on the new partition instead of the Windows partition. This only applies to the current user account. If someone logs on with a different account, their temporary files will be saved to the Windows partition ( i.e. The default location).
