Re: Environment Variables on NT

Path is loaded at session logon (interactive or batch) from the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path]

This setting is modifiable in the registry, but only takes effect after logoff/logon.
The Environment Applet calls Winapi to set this dynamically w/o reboot, so it's the best place to alter.

What is the exact connection error.
