The directory /tmp seems to be hardwired into some applications as a repository for temporary files created during those applications' activity. (Rather than using env. vars. TEMP or TMP, I mean.)
Is there a way of globally diverting such temporary files elsewhere, as in "for /tmp read h:/temp throughout this session"? I've tried fiddling with all of alias, ln, mount, ..., but none of these seem to provide quite what's needed. (Reason for asking: I am still experimenting with portable-Cygwin-on-a-CD. Then the un-write-ability of the directory /tmp and possibly of other directories too is occasionally proving to be problematic.) Thank you.
