Add to PATH Environment Variable

 Keywords:  PATH Environment Variable

---

Question:

Does anyone know how to add the PATH to a new program to WinNT/2K and Win9x machines? I already have a script that IDs the OS and branches off based on NT or 9x.

Answer:

Do you mean append something to the PATH variable? This will work for NT & W2k not sure about Windows 9x.

OrigPath=RegQueryExpSz(@RegMachine, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment[Path]")
NewPath = StrCat(OrigPath, ";c:\blahblah\yadayada")
RegSetexpsz(@RegMachine, "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment[Path]",NewPath)
