I've had the ongoing issue of slowness in my loginscript when using the SET cmd. It takes our WinXP SP2 machines 7-8 seconds just to set 8 environment vars. I've tried to use %COMSPEC% instead but there are no results at all when using it to call the native SET in DOS.

I've run additional tests like the one below and it takes alot of time to run. This one takes average 12 seconds which is just waaaay to long:

Set 'UID=MP060096'
Set 'UID1=MP060096'
Set 'UID2=MP060096'
Set 'UID3=MP060096'
Set 'UID4=MP060096'
Set 'UID5=MP060096'
Set 'UID7=MP060096'
Set 'UID8=MP060096'
Set 'UID9=MP060096'
Set 'UID10=MP060096'
Set 'UID11=MP060096'
Set 'UID12=MP060096'
Set 'UID13=MP060096'
Set 'UID14=MP060096'

Anyone else experiencing this or have a workaround?

TIA!

Have you tried SetL or SetM, Look at the manual and you will see why SET is taking so long.

cool, I read the docs and now understand. I tried SetL but the results do not show up in the explorer shell's environment and my apps that use the enviro vars fail.

My IT support dept is complaining about the slowness so maybe I'll try moving this portion of the kix script to a separate batch file and call to it. Using the SET cmd with COMSPEC in Kix shows no results.

thx

SetL, will only show in the enviroment in which it was created (Set Local), if you need it to be available for the entire system you need to use SetM (Set Machine).

If you need to set this everywhere and make it permenant on all machine, then look at adding it to the registry, and then you can just check to make sure it exists and if it does not, create it.

but set for user and make it stick, there is no "fast" way to make it in kix.
one needs to indeed set it via writevalue.
