I was thinking you could set it to say "c:\skimcache" before skimming new books and unset it when your done.

if you use portable 4 you'd fill up the ...\Version 4 Portable\Calibre Settings\caches folder, if that's on drive C: then you'd be no better off, unless you cleaned it up manually.

The old viewer didn't unpack books to the cache folder, it unpacked them to a session folder in Temp, which gets deleted when calibre closes - and if it missed any they'd get removed next time you ran Disk Cleanup.
