Guest laredotornado Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Hi, I am running Windows XP. I was curious where I can store environment variables so that they can be stored the next time I boot my computer. Currentlyi, if I go to the Start Menu, click "Run" I can type set MYVAR=abcde echo %MYVAR% at the command line. However, when I close the command window and re- open it, the value of MYVAR is not stored. Where can I put this such that it is stored permanently? Thanks, - Dave
