Ah, I see. Up until now, I knew that I could override temporary folder for the console session. But I thought that any new program that gets launched, will have the system value restored (including Make, of course). The test I just performed shows otherwise (child process inherits the value). This means I can probably use this localized redirection of temporary folder. Thank you for your help! Bostjan
