Find the Temp Folder in Vista and Windows 7

Q: Where do I find the Temp folder in Vista? Going to the Temp directory shows me only about a half dozen files. XP always had lots of files in the Temp directory and I assume Vista does as well. - Jared Freeman. A: Vista and Windows 7 don't
use the same location for temporary files as XP does. Here's an easy
way to get the full path of the Temp folder. Click the Start orb, enter
CMD, and press Enter. In the resulting Command Prompt enter the command
ECHO %TEMP%. This displays the full path of the actual Temp folder. It will normally take the form C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp, where username
is your user account name. If the name is long or includes spaces the
username maybe expressed in old 8.3 form, e.g. "NEILJ~1.RUB" for "Neil
J. Rubenking".
One way to view that folder is to use the CD (or CHDIR) command
right in that Command Prompt, enclosing the full pathname in quotes if
it contains any spaces. For example, CD "C:\Users\Neil J. Rubenking\AppData\Local\Temp".
If you want to view the folder in Windows Explorer you may run into
one small problem; the AppData folder is marked as hidden. Supposing
you can't see that folder, you'll need to do this. Press F10 for a menu
in Windows Explorer and choose Tools | Folder Options. Click the View
tab. Choose the option "Show hidden files and folders" ("Show hidden
files, folders and drives" in Windows 7) and click OK. Now you can
navigate all the way to the Temp folder. - Neil J. Rubenking.
