Changing the webservice default temp directory? -- asp.net webservices

I'm getting the error:

Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1).
error CS2001: Source file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\2dzvwfyi.0.cs' could not be
found
error CS2008: No inputs specified

It happens when the constructor for my webservice is called. I've
already figured out that I can give my user read/write access to c:
\windows\temp, but I'd prefer to tell the webservice to use my virtual
directory\temp for temp files.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Not sure if this is important, but this is a ASP.Net AJAX
ScriptService web service being called from client side javascript
code.

I would say your webservice uses System.Xml because some features of .NET
serialization do use the %TEMP% directory for (de)serializing process.

However, you do not want to set IIS mapped folders as NTFS writable, this is
definitely a security risk. And, don't worry if another
serialization-dependent .NET app comes around and uses this %TEMP% folder
too. .NET assures that unique files are used when performing the
(de)serialization process.
