This is set in C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.x.y\bin\maxima.bat.
if "%USERPROFILE%" == "" goto win9x
if "%MAXIMA_USERDIR%" == "" set MAXIMA_USERDIR=%USERPROFILE%\maxima
if "%MAXIMA_TEMPDIR%" == "" set MAXIMA_TEMPDIR=%USERPROFILE%
goto startparseargs
:win9x
if "%MAXIMA_USERDIR%" == "" set MAXIMA_USERDIR=%maxima_prefix%\user
if "%MAXIMA_TEMPDIR%" == "" set MAXIMA_TEMPDIR=%maxima_prefix%
so you should be able to change it by setting the environment
variable in the usual ways or by hard coding it into the bat file.
