On a Windows system at the command prompt
if you type in the command SET
This will display a list of environment variables available on the system
and accessible via $ENV{'%variable%'}
%SystemDrive% == $ENV{'SystemDrive'}
%SystemRoot% == $ENV{'SystemRoot'}
This is standard across windows platform (now I cant confirm this for
Windows 95,98, me)

RE: what is the most robust and accurate way to determine the BOOT volume?

I discovered (on my computer) that ENV vars named ?SystemRoot? and
?SystemDrive? exist.
Does anyone know if these would be present on all Windows computers?
If so, it would seem the answer here would be to merely look at
$ENV{?SystemDrive?}
Can anyone think of a reason where these ENV vars would not exist?
