Same as in microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admi

http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5003

If you paste
C:\DOCUME~1\user\Local Settings\Temp
into Start | Run , does the same folder open as when you type
%tmp%
or
%temp%
into Start | Run?

C:\DOCUME~1\WESLEY~1.VOG\LOCALS~1\Temp
C:\DOCUME~1\WESLEY~1.VOG\Local Settings\Temp
%tmp%
%temp%
and
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
all open the same folder here.

%windir%\temp is the System Environment Variable.
Start | Run | Type: temp | Click OK

%tmp% and %temp% are User Environment Variables.
