Answer» Hi everybody.
Firstly, I wanna say that I'm a beginner on Windows XP. So try to use simple sentences please. What is ENVIRONMENT variable? What are its functions? What cases do I need to use it? What does it manage?
Thanks for all.
Here is the Wikipedia page on environment VARIABLES.
If you want to see what environment variables are SET in your pc they can be viewed by following the instructions here.
You don't need to use environment variables at all, they provide ready access to the operating environment for those processes which do.
For example - if you wanted to use the Temp file on a pc but didn't know its location you could access it using the environment variable %temp% which HOPEFULLY is set.
Hope this helps
Homework question?
