To move the TEMP folder used by LinkFixer Advanced to a location other than the C:\ system drive, you must modify a Windows registry key.
Important Notes
- Ensure LinkFixer Advanced is not running before making any changes.
- The new AppData folder should be on another partition, but must remain on the same physical drive.
