NX Folders with name of NX files are being created on Windows Desktop

When running managed NX launched from Active Workspace, any NX data created or opened leads to  a temporary folder created in the current working directory. When the current working directory is the Desktop, this leads to the Windows Desktop filled with as many temporary folders as there are NX files opened in the session.

How to better control the directory where these temporary folders are created?

Use this environment variable to control where these temporary folders are created:

API_DEFAULT_DIR

Set the desired path location for the above environment variable, and the temporary folders will be created in that location.
