I have a problem burning DVDs since the space left in the system partition it's only 3.6 GB, so everytime I try to burn a DVD, windows states that the Disc doesn't have enough room to fit the files. The DVD it's an empty 4.5 GB DVD, so I reckon that the problem's not the DVD but actually the Vista Temporary Burning Folder (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn) that doesn't have enough room. Also I can't free any space on my windows partitions since I have all the software that I use there.

Now, the question, does anybody know how can I move this folder to other partition where I have plenty of space?

If anyone knows the answer I would really appreciate it!

I’m running Vista Business and I’m having the same problem too. At this point, the only thing I can think of is to move the entire profile folder to another partition; but, from what I’ve read, that seems somewhat involved. I’ve tried going into the registry to change the burn location, but even that hasn’t worked (yet). I’m going to keep looking into this and I’ll post again if I find anything.

A solution could be the one you mentioned, but I also read that it may cause problems with other applications that use that folder. I had no other solution than to get rid of some stuff to make room. I hope somebody comes up with the solution for this.
