Are you intending changing *running processes* environment variables, or merely update a given PC's configuration so that next time an app starts they'll see the new settings? (I'd guess the latter as even Windows itself won't e.g. update running instances of cmd.exe's environment when you change them after an instance of cmd.exe has started.) Walter
