The user Temp folder is the Windows Temp folder for all intents and purposes, although the content of the system process' TEMP environment variable may be different than the TEMP variable in the current user context. You can always fall back on the GetTempPath() API call:

DECLARE INTEGER GetTempPath IN Kernel32.DLL ;
   INTEGER nBufferLength, ;
   STRING @ lpBuffer
cBuffer = REPL(CHR(0), 1024)  && May be no larger than 261 if not XP/Win2K
nNumTCHAR = GetTempPath(1023,@cBuffer)
? 'Temporary Path is: ' + LEFT(cBuffer, nNumTCHAR)

If nNumTCHAR is 0, an error occurred and you need to call GetLastError() to get the error code. If nNumTCHAR > nBufferLength, this represents the length of the buffer required to hold the path, and the content of cBuffer is inconsistant.

You can also use the SHGetFolderPath(), SHGetSpecialFolderPath(), SHGetFolderLocation(), SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() and SHGetFolderPathAndSubDir() API calls to ret of a number of paths identified by CSIDLs, a special enumeration of common folder locations that is unfortunately Windows version specific as to exactly which CSIDLs are supported, and whether or not a given function is supported for a given Windows version revision. You'll need the MSDN Library (Platform SDK reference), and you'll need to retrieve the SHELL32.DLL version to know which calls are available. Sorry, but a comprehensive reference to these would take a lot more than a single message to cover adequately. There are a couple of these calls documented in the Win32 API section here on UT.
