Hello,

over the past years I fetched the environment variables from the registry keys
System: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session 
Manager\Environment\
User: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\
However not all variables are retrieved i.e. SystemRoot is missing.
GetEnvironmentStrings() appears to be the right win-function to call, however 
the
comment confuses me:

"Do not use the return value of GetEnvironmentStrings to get or set environment 
variables. Instead, use the GetEnvironmentVariable and SetEnvironmentVariable 
functions to access the environment variables within this block. When the block 
is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling FreeEnvironmentStrings."

How can I get all environment variables reliable? I need to store them 
temporarily and pass them later on as environment block to CreateProcess(). Is 
it save to call GetEnvironmentVariable() on each returned name?

Thanks in advance,

Arno Garrels
