    A Vault thick clients use a TEMP Location to process some operations such as the Job Processor. By default this location is C:\TEMP.

     

    After Vault 2011 Update 2, this location can be modified to suit your needs by following these instructions.

    1. Navigate to the installation location of the Vault client.
    2. In the Explorer folder, Make a copy of the original 'Connectivity.<application>.config' file
    3. Edit the 'Connectivity.<application>.config' file in a text editor.
    4. Locate the <appSettings> section.
    5. Add a line containing '<add key="TempFolderOverride" value="c:\NEW\TEMP\FOLDER"/>' (without quotes) within the <appSettings> section.
    6. Set 'value' equal to the absolute path of the desired temporary folder location.
    7. Save and close the file.
