First off, thanks for all of your advice.
I changed the folder settings, and ASPNET is authorized to write to that
directory.
Path.GetTempPath() returns: C:\DOCUME~1\ATCS\ASPNET\LOCALS~1\Temp\
But, Path.GetTempFileName() still returns an Error, I pasted the info below.
The directory name is invalid.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Again, thanks for all of your help.

You need to disable Simple file sharing under Folder Options to be able to
set permissions in WinXP.
If the ASPNET's temp directory is set to a valid path then I don't know what
might be causing the problem.

The system environment Temp and Tmp are both set to "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP". I'm
running XP Professional. My user has Temp and Tmp set to:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp.
The Path.GetTempPath is showing the ASPNET user Local Temp.
In windows XP there doesn't seem to any place to specificaly set folder
permissions as in 2000 or 2003 Server for an individual user.

Most likely it would be the ASPNET user. I'm not sure how to set that
user's environment (without writing code) but first check what the temp
directory is, Path.GetTempPath(). Check if the name is valid and the
directory exists and that ASPNET can write into it (but i think you'd get
a different exception if it was a permission issue).

Wouldn't that be the ASPNET user?
If so how do I set the environment for that User?
