I shortened the story a bit, it's really more complicated. The TMP 
definition in my case is user-crafted, not the default value which is 
normally set up when a user is created in the Windows system.

Also, this approach would defeat the intended purpose of the 
redefinition of TMP (avoiding permissions screwup). Or am I missing 
something here?
