Kai already explained that it exists only in XEmacs (no matter Unix or
Windows). Sorry.

Yes, sure. Every user in WinNT and above has its own temp directory, which
is not readable by anybody else. TEMP environment variable points to that
directory and (temp-directory) in XEmacs/NT returns just that. Probably
"temporary-file-directory" variable in Emacs/NT behaves the same way.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
