The windows programs while doing some processes/work creates lot of junk files and deletes these junk files after completing the job. These junk files will be created in Windows\Temp directory.

How do you stop 7zip from using an intermediate temp directory when decompressing files?

7-Zip doesn't know folder path of drop target. Only Windows Explorer knows exact drop target. And Windows Explorer needs files (drag source) as decompressed files on disk. So 7-Zip extracts files from archive to temp folder and then 7-Zip notifies Windows Explorer about paths of these temp files. Then Windows Explorer copies these files to drop target folder. To avoid temp file usage, you can use Extract command of 7-Zip or drag-and-drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip.
