When we open a command promt and type "SET" we see this:

TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\Local Settings\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\Local Settings\Temp

This should be :

TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp

So not the whole path is translated to 8.3 notation only the first part.
We have ben unable to find a way how to control this function.

Can anyone help.
 
Same as in microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admi

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.
