Clearing out all temp files and folders didn't do it. I even deleted everything in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp (which included a folder called Temporary Internet Files, which is where the setting in IE said it was pointing). I moved the folder to the correct location under IE, (%USERPROFILE%\A

*>>Curious - how would this impact the IE Temp file location?* Don't know, but lots of fun things happen when temp folders are full of remnants of previous installation or app usage activities. Maybe its falling back to a secondary temp folder if the primary is deemed unusable for some reason.

Have you tried running Process Monitor to find out what changes the setting? As you know the path, it should be easy to filter the log down to the necessary items. Process Monitor has a sort of "persistent" mode that will log during a restart, as I remember, although I can't remember the right term
