Globally redirecting output elsewhere than /tmp/

The directory /tmp seems to be hardwired into some applications as a
repository for temporary files created during those applications' activity.
(Rather than using env. vars. TEMP or TMP, I mean.)
Is there a way of globally diverting such temporary files elsewhere, as in
"for /tmp read h:/temp throughout this session"?
I've tried fiddling with all of alias, ln, mount, ..., but none of these
seem to provide quite what's needed.
(Reason for asking: I am still experimenting with portable-Cygwin-on-a-CD.
Then the un-write-ability of the directory /tmp and possibly of other
directories too is occasionally proving to be problematic.)
Thank you.
Fergus
