Quick question (because I don't remember). On Win9x, setting an environment value in a console window causes the environment for everyone to change, right? So you're just refreshing those applications that haven't started yet. For once I wish I had a 95/98/ME system around. In either case, I guess what I'm getting at is that if you want the change to be permanent, say if you wanted to have all of your systems to have their asset tag as an environment variable, for example, you'd also have to edit the autoexec.bat to load it after the next reboot, right? Or is there a better way? I generally consider myself lucky to be able to leave these OS's in the dust at work, but you still never know when you'll need to know this stuff.
To tell the truth, I've never had a need to dick with the system env vrbls. I usually set any I need in my tcsh startup. I guess the answer would be yes - you would normally change the autoexec.bat to set new env vrbls. I'm still not much of a Windoze expert - the info is hard to find.
