I'm downloading a large file on Windows server and Internet Explorer first stores files into the C drive and then copies it to the correct location. I don't have enough space on the C drive, so is there a way to change the path of where Internet Explorer is temporary downloading files?

Is there another tool to achieve this?

You could create a Symlink from the temporary folder to your other temp folder.

For example you could run this in the command line to create one:

mklink /j <temp folder for downloads> <new temp folder for downloads>

Try:

set TEMP=D:\junk

set TMP=D:\junk

Or:

Right Click on Computer -> Properties -> Choose Advanced Settings on the Left Pane -> On the Advanced Tab -> Environment Variable -> and Now Edit those variables.
