ConEmu - environment variable TEMP set automatically

In ConEmu, the environment variable TEMP is automatically set to a temporary folder path by default. This behavior is designed to ensure that ConEmu functions correctly and that temporary files created during its execution are stored in a valid location.

The temporary folder path used by ConEmu is usually specific to each user's profile and is set dynamically based on the user's environment. ConEmu sets the TEMP variable during its initialization, and it may not be the same across different users or sessions.

If you need to access the value of the TEMP environment variable from within ConEmu or any other application running in ConEmu, you can do so by using the %TEMP% or %TMP% environment variable references. Both %TEMP% and %TMP% point to the same temporary folder path in Windows.

For example, you can use the %TEMP% variable in the Command Prompt or any script running within ConEmu like this:

batchCopy code
echo %TEMP%

Or in PowerShell:

powershellCopy code
echo $env:TEMP

Please note that you should not modify or unset the TEMP environment variable while using ConEmu, as it may lead to unexpected behavior or issues with the program's functionality. ConEmu relies on the proper setting of TEMP to handle various tasks and processes during its execution.
