Environment variables set in a command session exist only for that command
session - once cmd.exe stops running, the changes are lost.
You can control them with the WSH shell object:
'~~~~~
Set shell = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Envion = shell.environment("System")
Envrion("Path") = envrion("Path") & ";c:\whatever"
'~~~~~~
That vbs code should do it for you, although I don't know for sure, as I
haven't tried it.
