Using temporary folders with terminal servers

By default, a terminal server creates a separate temporary folder for each new session on the server, enabling each user to store individual temporary files. To reclaim disk space, these temporary folders are deleted when the user logs off from a session. If you want to change these default settings for a terminal server, use Group Policy (best practice) or Terminal Services Configuration to modify them. For more information, see Delete or retain temporary folders when exiting or Use separate temporary folders for each session.
