I was wondering if it was possible to change the location of my WUTEMP folder (the folder where windows XP dumps all the temporary files). Currently, WINXP just assigns the folder to a drive that I want to keep free of temporary files. Is there any way to change the location (drive) of this folder?

Format the drive that xp puts the folder on. That should make it think about where it puts its nasty little folders.

WUTemp folder is just created when you use the Windows Update site and it downloads the patches and stuff.After it has installed those patches it cleans out all the files automatically and you just have the empty folder left.

I don't think its possible to change the destination
