I recently tried to burn a video DVD on my Media Center 2005 system. I tried to fit 2 hours of recorded TV content on the DVD, and Media Center told me it would need to compress the content in order to fit it on the DVD. I pressed OK and left my Media Center going overnight to burn the DVD for me. Then, when I came back in the morning I found an error message stating that my system was out of disk space. I have my system configured with a 10 gigabyte C drive where I installed the Media Center OS and and then a 200+ gigabyte D drive where I store my music, photos and recorded TV.


After some further investigation, I found that the Sonic DVD burning software that is included with Media Center uses the default temporary folder (%temp%) when it transcodes recorded TV to compress it for burning to a video DVD. In my case, I only have about 2-3 gigabytes free on my C drive, but I have 150+ gigabytes free on my D drive. I found that I was able to change the default temporary folder location that Windows uses in order to allow my Media Center to use the D drive for temporary storage and correctly burn my video DVD.


Here are the steps I used to change the default temporary folder location and fix the Media Center video DVD burning issue I was running into:




  1. Click on the Start menu, choose Run and type sysdm.cpl


  2. Click on the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button at the bottom


  3. Double-click on the User variable named TEMP and change it to a path on your D drive


  4. Double-click on the User variable named TMP and change it to a path on your D drive


  5. Double-click on the System variable named TEMP and change it to a path on your D drive


  6. Double-click on the System variable named TMP and change it to a path on your D drive


  7. Click OK to officially change these environment variables


  8. Restart your computer so that Media Center will pick up the changes to these folder locations


  9. Try to burn your television show to a video DVD again

The default user profile structure has changed since Vista, therefore this Temporary Internet Files folder (aka IE cache) are also got moved because of that. If you still remember, it used to be located at %userprofile%Local SettingsTemp in Windows XP or 2000, and is hidden in that folder.

Dig one step deeper, there are actually more folders inside this Temporary Internet Files folder. However, you will have to type the folder name in Explorer address box in order to accessing them.

%userprofile%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5

And that’s the folder that stores all files that you open directly from your Internet Explorer.

Note that accessing directly in the Temporary Internet Files is quite dangerous, as it’s hotbed for all kinds of malware downloaded from Internet. In some cases, you do need to access it, especially for the documents you downloaded and saved. However, doing so with high cautious that you might trigger one of the bad monsters.

Can I change this location to somewhere else?

Yes, you definitely can change it from Internet Explorer. Open Internet Options from Internet Explorer, click Settings button in Browsing history section, and select Move folder … button to migrate from the current one to a new location.

Hello. I found my temp files already but have another question that you might be able to answer. Up until about a month ago I could go to the temp folder and find the files I had viewed on youtube. Those files I could copy and then rename to FLV files. This has somehow stopped working and now what use to be unknown video files in the temp folder is now seen as text files. Any clue what has changed?
