Yes, that is certainly the most reliable method of setting environment variables (that method doesn't work with Windows 9x though), and is definitely the recommended method for setting permanent variables in windows NT+... But for our USB drive scenario who wants to go thru all those GUI windows to set a variable permanently on a system when powerpro is being launched from a temporarily plugged-in USB drive :) David Troesch | Atlanta, GA | ICQ# 2333123 If you don't take action, someone else will. http://action.eff.org Funstuff: Lawyer Parking Only.
