How to redirect Special folders in Windows XP:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/redirectfolders.htm
Relocate the "Temporary Internet Files" folder to a different drive:
http://www.winxptutor.com/movetif.htm
To relocate the Temporary Internet Files folder:
1. Save and close all running applications
2. Create a folder in the destination drive (say E:\MyName\TIF )
3. Click Start, Run and type INETCPL.CPL
4. In the Temporary Internet Files section, click Settings
5. Click Move Folder button and browse to the newly created folder and
select it
6. Click OK
7. Click Yes, when you see the prompt
"Windows will log you off to finish moving Temporary Internet Files. Do you
want to continue ?"
Windows will now copy all the Cookies, temporary internet files to the
destination folder and log you off. Log back in for the changes to take
effect.
Reset the Shell Folders paths to defaults:

additionally you can move the (system related) Temp folder through System
Control Panel, Advanced, Environment Variables.
logged on as admin in the bottom half you can change the settings for the
variabled called TEMP and TMP to point to new locations, rather then
c:\windows\temp
