Get user Temp directory

[Najd]

Hi All,
I'm developping a DLL that requiers the path of the Temp directory of
the user logged. I used GetTempPath(), GetEnvironmentV ariable() and
ExpandEnvironme ntStrings(), but the 3 methodes returns the system temp
path: "C:\WINDOWS\Tem p".
Did someone have another method or can explain me why it returns this
path instead of the user path "C:\Documen ts and Settings\user\l ocal
settings\Temp".
Note:
When I used this 3 methods returns the right path in a Win32 console
application ?

You need to ask on a windows newsgroup. Check the news.microsoft. com server
for available groups. (Or do a search on Google... I'd bet it's been asked
and answered before.)

Whatever. Neither of those functions has anything to do with Standard
C++ language. I will take your word as to their behaviour.

Yes, somebody in a Windows programming forum (newsgroup) undoubtedly has
some suggestions. Post there please. Here your question is off-topic.

Is that a question.

The C++ way to get the "TEMP" environment variable is
std::getenv("TE MP");
That works for me.

OT note: on some systems, the system temp path is the only temp path,
and C++ can't do anything about it. If the user wants it that way,
don't argue.
