I smell a potential rat. Why monkey with the registry scriptomatically, and why is he putting the values like that in hex? Why not use the manual method of Control Panel / My Computer, or else a script with SETX?
If I am way off base by not just simple using "My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables" then your sens of smell is extremely damaged. Don't read between the lines. Paranoia may tell you that something is there, but all that
something is really just air.
I often do more OS installations than I would like and am simply trying to simplify the monkey work. I merely want to create a file with
helpful batch files and such whose path is part of the system variable.
Registry file in HEX: That's the way it exported, that's all, no rats..,nothin' but air.
I guess the question is: does not the method of "My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables" merely change the registry, and this is why I'd need a restart?
"or script with SETX" would anyone care to elaborate on this?
