Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	You are doomed to do a reboot if you update the reg key. The SET command Les suggested also works and does not need a reboot. Do not forget the ; in front of the stuff to add. The @error and @serror macro’s and the sleep’s are there just for testing and can safely be removed. Code: Break on $path = %path% $path = $path + ";new stuff to add to path" ?$path Sleep 2 Set "path = $path" ?@ERROR ?@SERROR Sleep 2 _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Sorry? I just ran the script and the path gets the stuff I want to add. When I check the path variable the folder I just added is still there when the script ends. What OS and kix version do you use? Did you use the exact script from above post or did you make modifications. Please post the script you use. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Have you looked into the various KiX SET commands? I'm guessing not. Mart suggested only one of the three available. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

blackcure blackcure Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-06-30 Posts: 10	whith SET or SETL fail because (from manual): If you start KiXtart from a batch file, any commands in the batch file that are run after KiXtart exits do not see changes made by the SET or SETL commands. If you want to run batch files or programs that depend on settings set by KiXtart, start them from KiXtart using SHELL or RUN. I think that with SETM don't fail Special thanks to Lees and Mark Thanks for all

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Weird. It works great for me. What OS are you running on and what kix version do you use? You spoke of changing it for each session, are you running it on a terminal server? Like Less said there are some kix commands dealing with environment vars, have a look in the manual for the proper syntax and functionality of these commands. [edit] Did not see your reply Sweet. Hope you get it working whith the other commands. [/edit] Edited by Mart (2005-12-14 10:20 PM)
