Find the Temp folder from the system settings

[Iain Lewis]

Hi,

I know this can be done, but not sure how. Does any one have some code I could pinch that gets the temp folder path from the registry ( or anywhere ) ?

TIA,

Iain

Is this an NT machine? (I'm assuming that it is, but I'll ask first)

Hey, I found a good link:

This will do it.

Yes Mark, it is an NT machine, but I'm looking for some code which is universal ( some users are on NT, Some on Win 98 ). The link you posted looks as though it'll do what I want - thanks.

Hi Iain
Try this;
'
'

Function TmpFolderLocation()

Dim Fso, TFolder



Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set TFolder = Fso.GetSpecialFolder(2)



TmpFolderLocation = TFolder.Path



Set Fso = Nothing

Set TFolder = Nothing



End Function

Finally got a chance to have another look at this !!

Thanks Ivan - does exactly what it says on the tin.
