Is it possible to set a environment variable at the system level from a command prompt in Windows 7 (or even XP for that matter). I am running from an elevated command prompt.
When I use the set
command (set name=value
), the environment variable seems to be only valid for the session of the command prompt.

The XP Support Tools (which can be installed from your XP CD) come with a program called
setx.exe
:I think Windows 7 actually comes with
setx
as part of a standard install.
