Can I ask what software is asking this? Sounds like a bad idea.

There are already two temporary folders available by default, the one in your user profile "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp" in Windows 7 and Later and the one in "C:\Windows\Temp".

If you want to verify (or change) this, right click My Computer/This PC in explorer, Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environmental Settings.

The User variables take precedence over your System variables if something exists in both places. User variables are not used if something is run as an administrator.
