How do I change the location of the temporary recording directory for LabChart?

It is possible to change the location of the Temp folder. To change the drive where LabChart stores the files used to store data before it is saved, it is currently necessary to set the user's TMP environment variable.

For example, to begin storing these temporary files on drive E:,

1. Create a new folder on the desired drive, e.g. E:\Temp
2. In the Control Panel, open the System dialog, choose the Advanced System Settings link, then click 'Environment Variables'.
3. Edit the TMP user variable to read "E:\Temp"

LabChart should use this folder the next time it is started.

Note that temporary files from other applications will commonly also be created in this folder.
