Once you know about these quirks, this is easily handled in the batch code
by creating a new directory in TEMP and pointing TEMP to it, before the
clipboard routine, then restoring the original TEMP afterwards, and finally
remove the new directory.

::This assumes JP uses TEMP (not TMP) for its temp variable.
@echo off
md %temp%.\JP_tmp
set temp=%temp%.\JP_tmp
Put JP-clipboard routine(s) here
set temp=%temp%\..
deltree /y %temp%.\JP_tmp
