Introduction
This article describes how to use a new location for temporary files in Microsoft Office Groove 2007 or an earlier version of Groove.



MORE INFORMATION
Groove uses the folders that are configured in Microsoft Windows to store temporary files. If you want to change the location where Groove creates these temporary files, you must configure the user environment variables for the TEMP and TMP directories to point to a new location. For example, you can put all temporary files on drive D. This includes Groove temporary files. To do this on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP, follow these steps:
 * 1) Create a new folder that is named Temp on drive D.
 * 2) Right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
 * 3) In the User variables list, click TEMP, and then click Edit.
 * 4) Remove the current value, type D:\Temp, and then click OK.
 * 5) In the User variables list, click TMP, and then click Edit.
 * 6) Remove the current value, type D:\Temp, and then click OK.
 * 7) Exit Groove.

To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:
 * 1) On drive D, create a new folder that is named Temp.
 * 2) Click the Start, click Control Panel, and then click System.
 * 3) Click Advanced System Settings, click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
 * 4) In the User variables list, click TEMP, and then click Edit.
 * 5) Remove the current value, type D:\Temp, and then click OK.
 * 6) In the User variables list, click TMP, and then click Edit.
 * 7) Remove the current value, type D:\Temp, and then click OK.
 * 8) Exit Groove.

When you restart Groove, it will use the new location for temporary files.
