Avoid network traffic - that makes sense, indeed. I started putting all temp files on the folder that contains the EXE (in my case, a shared network folder), for lazyness. Later, I created at least some TEMP files on the local computer. Here is the catch: the expression I use, sys(2023), returns the network folder on some machines! Perhaps those machines don't have a C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder, and use the current folder as default. IOW, I use this function to store temp files on the local disk, but I can't really trust it to work in all cases.
