The correct place for temp files varies from computer to computer, depending on whether the admin wants them on the boot drive or not, on whether the admin feels that every user should have their own temp directory, and other stuff. The programmer isn't meant to know this stuff. So it's best to let the admin set an environment variable and get the information from there rather than have the programmer try to pick a directory on a computer they've never used. Simon.
