OK setting my Temp and TMP folder locations seemed so easy once I dig around the web and found out how.

But it wasn't easy to find, so I am re-posting the steps here for anyone who needs it. Because, sometimes you want an easy way to find and clear/clean/erase/view your temp files.

Create a TEMP folder on aother drive/partition.
Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
Double-click TEMP and set it.
Double-click TMP and set it.
Press Apply and OK.

This, of course, is not the same as Temporary Internet Files, which you can manage very easilty within Internet Explorer (icky) for those who still use it. To change this location:

Create another Temporary Internet Files folder on aother drive/partition.
In IE, Go to Tools>Internet Options
General Tab>Temporary Internet Files (middle section)>Settings
Move Folder
OK
Apply
OK
Restart IE
