Depends what you mean. If you want the new environment variables to
be visible in a new process, then I have found that after setting
environment variables in the registry, a new command shell has the
new settings. No reboot is necessary.
If you want the new settings to be visible in the current process or
sub-processes that you are about to start, then you should set the
current process environment directly (i.e. $ENV{...} = ) rather than
use the registry.
If you mean that you want processes that are already running to see
the new settings, then I don't think that there is any way to do that
without at least restarting those processes.
