setting temporary directory

[jason6791]

This may seem like a stupid question, but how do I set the temporary directory? Currently, tempdir returns temp\. This file does not exist. I can create 'temp' in my working directory and my program will run, but I would rather change the Matlab setting.

Thanks,
Jason

I believe that MatLab gets the temporary directory from you PCs settings. It is not a setting in MatLab.

Your temporary directory is setup in your PC's environmental variables. To change it (if you are using Windows 2000), go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced->System->Environment Variables.

Hope this helps.
