Reset the location of the Windows TEMP directory

I changed the location of the TEMP directory to a different drive, but after wanting to change it back to the usual \appdata\local\temp, i noticed the AppData folder isn't shown in the "Select Folder" explorer window.

Your Temp Folder is normally set by editing the Path

Go to Control Panel (Windows + X Keys together and select Control Panel from the Menu)

Click System

Click Advanced System Settings

Click Environment Variables

Select and edit both the TEMP and TMP path variables to be the same as above

Reboot
