>>No true, Craig. By default, VFP6 puts its temp files in the starting directory for the application. This can be overridden by setting the registry value through the Tool-Options-Files dialog for the development version, but this setting is ignored by the runtime, and can only be set from a CONFIG.FPW or its equivalent for the runtime environment. The development version will take the TMPFILES setting from a CONFIG.FPW in preference to the registry entry.

That's a default written into the registry by the development verison of VFP; the registry entry is not accepted by the runtime, and if you don't name a specific directory in the registry, it follows the default rules outlined in the Insytallation Guide and Programmer's Reference.

Set this as default, and press OK. Exit VFP, and start another copy. Print the value of SYS(2023), and it'll be the starting directory for the executable.
