Can I change the location Photoshop CS6 saves embedded files?

Right now it's saving them in the system's temp folder and I want them to be saved in the same location as the Photoshop file that contains the embedded files.

The files should be temporary, otherwise, use linked instead of embedded.

Not sure what kind of screenshot I would send you. Just that the embedded psd files dhow in the C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp folder.

Images that are embedded are stored inside the document where they are embedded.

Hi @PFCMCL 

The embedded files should only show in the temp folder when you open them to edit them. What are the dates and extensions you are seeing in the temp folder? Can you open any of those files?
