Thanks for the help.
Unfortunately I am no further ahead.
>From phpinfo I have copied and pasted the following:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path php.ini
I presume this means that the php.ini file is in the same directory as php.
I have found a php.ini file in the same directory and edited it as below.
I have copied and pasted the following from php.ini:
session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data
session.save_path = c:\WINDOWS\Temp; argument passed to save_handler
; in the case of files, this is the
; path where data files are stored
The directory c:\WINDOWS\Temp is exactly as in my directory structure. This
looks right to me - any comments??
After re-booting I got the following from phpinfo:
session.save_handler files files
session.save_path /tmp /tmp
This suggests that the changes I made did not work. I looked further and in
the environment area of phpinfo I found:
TEMP C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TMP C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
I am not sure if the above two lines are relevant.
I also searched the php.ini file to see if the session.save_path could have
been set twice - but alas no.
The only thing I haven't done is edit the php.ini-dist file. I know this
exists but I don't know what it's for or what it does.
It still seems to me that php is picking up the wrong path from somewhere,
but I don't know where. Or could it be that php is not initialising each
time I reboot my PC. When does php initialise??
Thanks everyone for your help - I'm sure we can crack this one.

Make sure also that the directory you specify exists - and is
"c:\window\temp" typo here, or in your php.ini, or is your system
directory really "window", not "windows" ;-)
Another gotcha I could imagine: make sure that in php.ini you don't have
session.save_path set twice, first to C:\windows\temp and later to /tmp

phpinfo() tells you also the path of php.ini, in the first section
there's entry "Configuration File (php.ini) Path"
