How do I prevent powerpoint from caching temporary files

I need to prevent powerpoint from caching/using temporary files. Is this
possible? If not, can I specify the directory?

I believe powerpoint uses the same 'temporary' directory as your windows computer.

Something along the lines of
Documents and settings\current logged in username\local settings\temp\

To change it
Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables>

Powerpoint places the temporary files in the same temp folder as your windows setting

Something along the lines of
documents and settings\current user name\local settings\temp

I believe you can change the location in
control panel>system>advanced>environment variables (at your own risk of course)

Thanks for the pointer. My research indicates that PowerPoint saves
fragments, such as for graphics used in the presentation. Does it ever cache
the entire presentation, especially if a "Jumpdrive" or similar external
drive is used to house the presentation?

Thanks again,
