Yes - the CONFIG.FPW can specify a directory to use for temporary files, and for the Development version, you can set this with the Tools/Options/File Locations dialog, assigning a value to Temporary Files.

See Chapter 3 (Configuring Visual FoxPro) in the Programmer's Reference (it's in the On-Line Help).
