NT/2000 RK)

To: <security-basics () securityfocus com>

Hello,
I need to set and remove system or user environment 
variables at Windows 2000 or XP. But I need to do it 
by 'hand', I mean, with some command, not using the Windows 
GUI. Does anyone how to do this? If I set variables at the 
command prompt, they only last during the DOS console is 
open, and what I need is that they are available during the 
user session. I was looking even the registry but I don't 
found anything.
What I found was SetX, a reource kit from Microsoft, but it 
only sets the variables, and I cannot remove them.

Many thanks

Javi
