Guest IanRobbo Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I know there's away to do this - but I just can't put my finger on it! Could someone please direct me to the tweak that will enable me to set WinXP to run all applications in their own separate environments? Thanks. -- Ian A Robinson
Guest John John (MVP) Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Environment Setting What exactly do you mean? How are the applications now running in the "same environment"? All applications have their own private space and other than a couple of shared system processes or shared dll's they don't really share the same evironment.

I think he wants to set up environment values per program, eg extra entries for PATH and such.

Unless the program is programmed to do this when it is started I think he will have to use a script or batch file to set the variables and launch his program, he will need a different script/batch file for each program.

Guest IanRobbo Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Environment Setting Thank you both very much for your interest and help. You were quite correct in your interpretation of my query Erwin (I apologise for causing so much confusion). The final response from John John (many thanks for this) gives me the answer I need. I'll move on from here with this info. Once again, thanks a million. -- Ian A Robinson "John John (MVP)" wrote: > Erwin Moller wrote: > > >>> IanRobbo wrote: > >>> > >>> I know there's away to do this - but I just can't put my finger on it! > >>> Could someone please direct me to the tweak that will enable me to > >>> set WinXP to run all applications in their own separate > >>> environments?
