Swap File versus Temp Folder question

Comment:
I have an NT box with 4 partitions on it. The pagesys file is on the D partition, but the Temp folder is still on the C partition. WinNT 4.0 SP6a doesn't seem to know when to clear files out of the Temp directory (it'll be up to 168MB full in the Temp directory and take the C drive down to 4MB of free space). Is there any way to do BOTH of the following: 1. Move the temp folder and remap it to a different partition? How? 2. Put a maximum limit on the size of the Temp folder and force NT to clear it or keep it at that size? How?
I know how to limit the size and position of the swapfil, but I'm not sure on the Temp folder. Thanks!
