Operating System "Temp" Directory FingerPrint Flag


When this FingerPrint option flag is set, the operating system on the host machine is queried for its temp directory. This is the fully qualified path to the temporary directory. This value may be different for each user, depending on the operating system version (NT, 2000, XP). This value is stored in software.

Typical Internal Values

  • "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\"

  • "D:\Windows\Temp\"

Operating System and Security

This flag will be able to successfully query the operating system for its temporary directory path on all versions of Windows. No special user permissions are required.
