I have multiple disks and multiple partitions on multiple machines. I'm using Windows/XP on some and Windows/2000 on others.
1) What partition is selected by BOINC as its default for temporary space?
2) I may wish to customize the specific partition on each machine that BOINC is to use for its temp space. How does one do this?

BOINC uses a subdirectory of the BOINC installation directory for temp storage.
