Hello i see in this link (https://portableapps.com/support/platform#advanced) about changing the Portable TEMP Directory.
I created a directory called "TempForPortableApps", but it's not working.
I see it says to go to PortableAppsMenu.ini to add/change something, but it doesn't specify. What do i need to add in there in order to move the temp files to a different drive?
Reason i want to move it: there's alot of data been written to my C drive and im suspecting portable Chrome might be it. so im going down the process of elimination.

Are you creating it exactly named TempForPortableApps in the same directory as Start.exe, PortableApps, and Documents? The INI changes are for the other unrelated options.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
yes, it's in the same directory. it's still using C:\Users\(user name) \AppData\Local\Temp\GoogleChromePortable\Default\Cache ,according to System Informer. my TempForPortableApps is empty
All the platform setting does is tell apps to use TempForPortableApps instead of TEMP if they use the system environment variable. Not all apps do.
For Chrome, you need to copy GoogleChromePortable.ini from GoogleChromePortable\Other\Source\ to GoogleChromePortable\ and change CacheInTemp=true to false.

thanks.
it looks like it doesn't apply to chrome since i don't see the changes happening.
