Hi Ed,

Maybe you can modify the registry key :-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\

Environment]

Which will achieve this for you.

OK, thanks to all. I thought that it was more difficult than

just

modifying the path.

Next question: how can I do that programmatically? IOW, I want

to

give the user the option of adding the "c:\Program Files\Some

Directory\Some Other Directory" to the path. If they say yes, how can

I do that in a batch file?
