Writing temp files to dir other than user dir
Idea writes profile information to a sub directory within the user home directory. Is there a way to tell idea to write to a different directory?
My company has some really stupid restrictions on my computer that I don't really want to get into. I'd like to try to find a way around them. I need to minimize the amount of data in my user directory.

So you also get that Windows message flashing up every two minutes, telling you that you have exceeded your profile storage space .... :)
Annoying isn't it?
If you go into the IDEA bin directory, there is a file called idea.properties]]>
Look for these lines:
-
-
Change the ${user.home} to somewhere else on your hard drive.
Would be nice if this could be set changed from the setup somewhere
I would have rather gotten the message. Apparently if we have a limit on the storage, its pretty big. Between Idea's cache, a windows temp directory and some other application data, I had about a half of a gig of stuff in there... which re-cppied down to my machine each time I logged in.... from our servers in South America! I would have loved to have some sort of warning!
Thanks for the tip... that should speed up my login times by at least 10 minutes!
That sounds like a nightmare of a setup ... :(
