Hello,

Years ago…

I made a custom portable version of Processing:  
_[Folders created during installation - #5 by glv](https://discourse.processing.org/t/folders-created-during-installation/12360/5)_

I may revisit this again with the current build of Processing.

There _ **may** _ be something in there for the temp folder.

Adding this to list above:

I found this to be useful in the past for some tasks.
