temporary-directory

Hi,

when running a Java application as service with the user 'LocalService', the temp directory ("java.io.tmpdir") points to 'c:/windows/temp' (for example).

Running a Java application normally gives 'c:/documents and settings/user/local settings/temp' instead.

How can I determine the user independent temp folder 'c:/windows/temp' when my application runs normally?

Thanks and greetings, GHad
