Basically a good idea, but it probably won't work for two reasons.
- Some of the env variables in the registry are REG_EXPAND_SZ strings which
contain other variables like this:
%SystemRoot%\System32
These strings have to be expanded before they are usable as real env
strings.
- The output of cat isn't quoted, so you will probably get wrong results
when backslashes are used like above.
