environment variables and syncing it

Tarle Timm #1 / 4	environment variables and syncing it Hello: In NT, I use the environement vairables dialog to set env variables. As soon as I set it, it is immediately available to all the apps. If I open a new dos window it is available. I call this process SYNCING. The env. variable is in a specific branch in the registry. If I create a new entry, it shows up in the env dialog, but it is not available in a command line session. How do I create an entry so that an environment variable is not only available but is so without a reboot ? Can I add a regentry and then expect it to be available after a reboot If I am not clear, I can give example. Thanks -Narahari.

ta.. #3 / 4	environment variables and syncing it But this will not make "myvar" persistent. I cant see if once the dialog box is done.

Michael Harri #4 / 4	environment variables and syncing it It was just a demo... Take out the ---> UserEnv.Remove("myvar") It was in there just so I didn't leave any trash behind ;-)... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Please do not email questions - post them to the newsgroup instead. -- Quote: > But this will not make "myvar" persistent.
