That sounds of course more friendly, however the comment I quoted, taken from the Windows95 developer handbook shipped with D7 clearly says: "Do not use the return value of GetEnvironmentStrings to *get or *set environment variables". Note the word get. I ran plenty of tests and after 50 mouse klicks or so I got in fact a strange string at the top of the list which doesn't represent a name/value pair. It was "=::=::\", any idea? At least I guess it wouldn't hurt much to crosscheck all returned names by calling GetEnvironmentVariable(), but what a hack to get just a few strings:( Arno Garrels _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
