Does system expect %temp% content
is boot persistent ?

Not for all content, but %temp% is sometimes used for installs. There
may be other reasons for not wanting to have it cleared. For example
my editor keeps a running backup in %temp%, which I can get at if
there is a power outage.

I'd also have to question whether it would be wise based on memory
considerations. You will be taking from the memory pool, and as a
consequence will be causing more paging to disk.

Are you sure the reboot part of installs
rely on it ?

Not all, but some. Wininit.ini is mainly for "in use" system files. Whether
the program uses the %temp% dir is up to the program.
