From: Ramu on 21 May 2010 11:44 You can try setting env variable using setx.exe(a windows 2000 resource kit utility) http://ss64.com/nt/setx.html Alternate is to set the values directly in env variable registry key(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment). If you have plans to use this alternate, test it well before you deploy it in large scale. Hope this helps... cyp wrote: How to change PERMANENTLY environment variables from batch script? 20-May-10 Ok, I know. In a batch file I can change environment variables temporarily (=for the current, remaining session) be entering e.g. set CLASSPATH=D:\newpath;%CLASSPATH% However these changes are not visible outside of the current session and furthermore they are lost after a reboot. Is there a(nother) way to change them PERMANENTLY from batch script? I can imagine that there is a way by a regedit or VisualBasic script or 3rd party cmdline tool. Again: I do not want to edit them manually e.g. in the "System" dialog in control panel. The change should take place on cmdline from a script Cindy Previous Posts In This Thread: Submitted via EggHeadCafe - Software Developer Portal of Choice WPF Report Engine, Part 4 http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/5ac799db-385f-431a-8a45-8b37cb7f3186/wpf-report-engine-part-4.aspx

I agree, though, that posters shouldn't change the subject line. Besides the setx suggestion the OP could run the batch file at startup every time, although that's not what he asked. Bill |
