In your CONFIG.FP file, you should have the following lines (using whatever directory is appropriate for your system):

EDITWORK=C:\TEMP
PROGWORK=C:\TEMP
SORTWORK=C:\TEMP
TMPFILES=C:\TEMP

I can't remember which of these are run-time things or development things (I'm sure EDITWORK is dev-related), but it doesn't hurt anything to have them there for a run-time CONFIG.FP file. These things can only be set via the CONFIG.FP file and nowhere else. If you don't specify them, they default to the startup directory, I believe.
