I guess we need to know the config file you see this variable in?

I do not think %system% is a default Windows environment variable, and the 
brackets don't seem to belong to the syntax.  Looks more like something from an 
A/V exception for a security product I'm very familiar with, and in that 
context, %[system]% is a prefix variable that usually resolves to 
c:\windows\system32  (or whatever drive windows is installed to)

I have run across this in a path in a config file and I'm wondering exactly 
what it means / points to.

e.g. %[SYSTEM]%\filename

It doesn't seem to work as intended and my Google-fu is weak on this one.

Thanks,
