How to force temporary files cannot be unpacked on USB key

When I run Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool it unpacks its files on a large (1 to) USB drive, which is the drive that contains the blank.  How can I force the tool to decompress the files on a drive in the TEMP directory or my choice?

I have the same problem in updating Windows... like patches more also unpack their temporary files on the USB drive.  I would like once again force the 'updater' to unzip the regular files on one of my hard drives.  I have a lot of space... but the USB is the most important.

Thank you, ABC

I think it is the way in which CAB API works. All packed with MS Self extracting Cabinet decompresses in the greater the drive root folder, unless he is required to extract to the specified folder.

    CCleaner is a very good tool for the removal of temporary files, simply use it to remove temporary files, do not use the cleaning of recording functions.  Registry cleaning is mainly a wasted effort and it causes more harm than good.  You can get CCleaner here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    How to remove temporary files, waiting to be written to disk when the computer starts?

    Hi Reasman,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

    To clear pending files, select the files/folders in the 'Files to add to the CD/DVD' box and press DELETE. However, if you want to delete all files, click the CD/DVD drive and select 'Clear the staging area' from the context menu.

    You can manually delete the files that are stored in the following location:

    %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning folder

    I hope this helps!

  • How to remove temporary files in FF?

    Before moving to FF, I have used IE for my browser. When he slowed down, there was an option to remove the temporary files. Usually, that solved the problem. I don't understand how to do this in FF. Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you cjake

    Temporary Internet files are called the "cache" in Firefox. The cache should not affect performance in Firefox, but just to be sure, here how to remove:

    1. Click the Firefox button
    2. Click on Options
    3. Click on the Advanced section
    4. In the Advanced tab, click the network tab
    5. Click the clear now button beside the sentence that shows how much space your cache hard drive back.

  • How to remove temporary files from Photoshop?

    I use Mac a friend and in Photoshop, from time to time he always tells me that the scratch disk is almost full and cannot perform actions until I get rid of things on the computer. I delete the files, but after a while he continues to to - I would rather just delete temporary files from Photoshop instead of files of my friend. But I was not able to find any where - where is this folder? or what I should enter in a search?

    You don't need to do it manually.

    You can clear the scratch disk:

    Edit-Purge-All

    You will lose your history if you do this (all cancellations).

    Basically you run of space on the drive system - not a good situation. I would like to talk to your friend to check maybe some files and then remove them. Or buy a firewire drive and use it as a scratch disk.

    Do not delete the files from your friend if you want to stay friends.

    I was not able to complete the full implementation of the solution Dell Direct USB key due to various problems.  .    Dell ended up sending me a new Windows 7 HARD disk image.   I have now the laptop up and running again with Windows 7 and have various applications installed.   That's all pretty well.  But now how do I get my data files restored?   Basically, I want to connect the external drive to backup and complete step 19 of the solution, as described below.

    
    Here are the steps OS using the Dell USB key: 
    
    1. Boot from the Direct USB Key by tapping F12 at the Dell logo, then select the
    USB Memory Key option from the boot device menu. 
    
    2. Accept the Dell End User License Agreement (EULA) by clicking the box next to
    Accept, scroll down till the end of the license agreement and then click on
    continue. 
    
    3. On this screen, the usb key gives an overview of the process it is about to
    perform, click continue when ready to proceed. 
    
    4. The Smart Repair solution runs a surface scan on the system to identify any
    errors with the boot record or the startup files. If any errors are found, they
    are automatically corrected. 
    
    5. Once the process completes, there will be an analysis summary, in this case,
    there is no issue found by the smart repair, click continue. 
    
    6. In this window the user can select what data they would like to back up, they
    can either go with the default backup solution or they can click select more to
    select more files for backup, click continue after selecting files for backup. 
    
    7. If user clicks on select more, they will get the screen below, they can go
    ahead and select the necessary data for backup by checking the box next to the
    respective folder, sub-directories are selected by default once the root folder
    is selected. 
    
    8. The user will be prompted to attach a USB hard drive to the system, user
    needs to connect the USB Hard drive at this point and click continue. 
    
    9. Once the solution detects the USB hard drive , it goes ahead with file
    backup. 
    
    10. Once the files are backed up, the solution will back up the user personal
    settings. 
    
    11. The Direct USB Key displays a summary of the data and personal settings
    backup. Click continue. 
    
    12. The Direct USB key then proceeds to install the operating system image on
    the system. 
    
    13. Once the operating system image is transferred, the drivers are also
    transferred. 
    
    14. After the operating system image and driver transfer, a summary page comes
    up giving the user information as to what process was performed successfully and
    what failed. The user needs to remove the USB key at this point and click
    restart. 
    
    15. The system restarts and comes to a flash screen on recovery and restore. 
    
    16. After the flash screen, the applications start installing. 
    
    17. Once the applications are installed, the user would see a summary screen
    informing them that the Operating system has been restored, connect the Direct
    USB Key and click restart. 
    
    18. After the restart the user will be prompted to connect the data backup hard
    drive and then click continue. 
    
    19. The files and personal settings are then restored from the USB backup drive. 
    
    20. After the files are transferred the system comes to the desktop with a pop
    up window informing the user to check the device manager for any exclamation
    marks, the tool also guides the user to download the drivers from the support
    site and the applications from My Dell Downloads and Dell Digital Delivery. User
    needs to select the check box to prevent the message from being displayed again
    and click close.
