Hi Ed, Maybe you can modify the registry key :- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ Environment]
Which will achieve this for you.

I thought that it was more difficult than just modifying the path. Next question: how can I do that programmatically? IOW, I want to give the user the option of adding the "c:\Program Files\Some Directory\Some Other Directory" to the path. If they say yes, how can I do that in a batch file? -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
