If the Environment Variable in Vista

How to change the Environment Variable in Vista? ... I could do with XP using Control Panel > performance and Maintenance, but could not find the area revealing in Vista.

Hello

When you see something surrounded of % this means there is a system environment Variable
together who will take the place of it. SystemRoot where Windows so for most, it will be
C:\Windows however if Windows is on drive D: it would be usually be D:\Windows.

Start - type in the search box-> explorer.exe SystemRoot

Enter and see where it leads you.

Another is %UserProfile%, which is the currently logged-on user

Start - type in the search box-> explorer.exe %USERPROFILE%

Enter and see where it leads you.

With the help of people and other environment variables, commands can be written so that they will apply no.
matter where Windows to installed or that the user connects (for the above examples).

To view the current system Environment Variables:

Start - type in the search-> CMD box find top - make a right click on - RUN AS ADMIN

When the COMMAND PROMPT opens it will look something like

C:\Windows\System32 >

Type SET and press on enter and you will see the present commands.

to see the command SET type in ALL of the structure? and press on enter – the space between T and.

  • Setting up the Environment Variables for the unit

    Hello

    I'm trying the license of the unit on an internet connection that requires a proxy. The unit for some reason any he manages really evil and tries to communicate without using the proxy server. I've been looking around and can't seem to find a clear answer on how to do it. Unity forums suggest to use Environment Variables, but only to give me a method (the ~ /.) MacOSX/environment.plist method) for (what they claim is Yosemite) but seems to be the Lion of the mountains or earlier as far as I can tell.

    What I have to use Environment Variables or is there another way to do it?

  • "Call the executable" allows the environment variable "path"?

    Hello

    It seems that when you use the step type "call the executable" you need to enter the absolute path of the executable, or the absolute working directory, in the definition of "call settings" step.  I seem not to be able to put in a *.exe by himself in the path and have the command is found, even if I can't enter this same command on the command line (windows 7).  Is it possible to configure this step to use the windows ' path' environment variable to search for the executable?

    David J.

    You can do the following:

    (1) specify cmd.exe for the file path.

    (2) specify "/c yourexe.exe" for the argument expression

    This will launch a command window and tell it to run your application with the simple file name.

    The reason why you can't put just yourexe.exe in the path of file is that TestStand made its own resolution of file path that is different from what the window command. It uses its directories to search to resolve relative paths. If you do not have to specify an absolute path for the file path parameter, but it must be compared to a TestStand search directory or the current sequence file.

  • How to programmatically change the environment variables

    I use Visual Source Safe commands in the context menu of Windows Explorer, and I often have to change VSS to the other database. I uses .reg files to change the value of the variable SSDIR. The registry editor displays the new value immediately after the call to the .reg file. However, the system does not seem to actually recognize the change, unless I open my computer properties to Environment Variables, and then click OK.

    How can I make an immediate change to a variable user permanently without enter in the properties of my computer?

  • Sourcing of the environment variables in windows NT

    Hi friends,

    I only have a knowledge in EBS 11i and R12 on linux, I have not tried to install it on windows yet. Windows EBS 11i still is
    available for download at edelivery.com?

    In addition, we have a customer who is equipped with Oracle Applications 11.0.3 on windows NT.
    How do I source (under windows NT) environment variables so that I can find where the APPL_TOP directory?

    On linux, I do the sourcing environment by logging into ussue and user applmgr command of ff:
    . $ORACLE_HOME/APPSORA.env

    What is the homologous command in windows NT?


    Thank you very much

    In the APPL_TOP directory, there should be an envshell.cmd. By clicking on this set of files gived invite you with all your environment variables for the application environment. You can place a shortcut on the desktop if you want.

  • Win 7 guest does not search the environment variable PATH for executable

    Win 7 Home Premium - cmd.exe - (high - run as administrator)
    Command prompt can't find the executable files that are clearly in the PATH variable
    For example, the netstat.exe program is located in the system32 folder, but when I type in the command window, it says:
    'netstat.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command
    operable program or batch file.
    But when I give it full, c:\windows\system32\netstat.exe path, the command runs correctly.
    Here is the PATH variable that returns the command window:
    Path=%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\
    System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\; C:\Program
    Common Files Files\GTK\2.0\bin

    You can clearly see that %SystemRoot%\system32 is there, and Yes, SystemRoot is c:\windows

    That is the only .exe this command prompt does not open properly?

  • Create the table with the environment variables

    Hi all
    When an event occurs, I would create a table by a planning procedure.
    I can create a table with these last or similar syntax:

    create table % s_ %t in select acme_ * from a;

    I would use this syntax because this event could be spend more time per day and so I can check.
    is this possible?

    Thank you very much

    To dynamically create a table, you must use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. If you want your table to be padded with timestamp name you can do it with the function TO_CHAR and SYSDATE.

    An example

    execute immediate 'create table acme_' || to_char(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYYHH24MISS') || ' as select * from a';

    HomeShare is an environment variable.  But the name of the folder is the 7 characters starting at position 29.  I would like to avoid having to do this in a batch file or other external utility.

  • After that the changing environment variables get various issues which cannot find %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe errors

    After you sort a few UAC problems on the computer of a friend (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/a-domain-user-in-the-local-administrators-group/745fc28d-7573-4414-aa4e-657054fc62dd) we hit another problem.

    After modification of the environment variables, it seems that windows loses some environment variables until a disconnection/connection is made. If you open a back command prompt and type the value, there are far fewer variables and things like %windir%\System32 disappeared. If you try to open the variable dialog environment again, you get a 'cannot find windir%\system32\rundll32.exe %. The same thing happens if you restart in safe mode. After a closed session/login, added environment variable are there, so they are saved, it just seems like it won't let windows none of them until a new logon.

    One oddity is that the variable env pathext has different things in after things go wrong. He started as a

    PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. VBE;. JS;. JSE;. WSF;. WSH;. MSC. ; PY

    and after adding a new use env variable and opening a new prompt back, together said

    PATHEXT = .COM; EXE;. BEATS;. CMD;. VBS;. JS;. WS;. MSC

    Is this a sign of a register messed up, that could have caused the original problem, or something else? Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem? Any help much appreciated. I have left this in the Security section, as it seems that it could be linked to the original problem, but am happy to move.

    Any help much appreciated.

    I don't know what caused your problem, but your original path certainly seemed excessively long. There is a lot of overlap in it you need to remove - see below. In addition, having records of remote machines at the beginning of your path will cause the machine to slow down a lot. You should remove them.

  • I delete an environment variable, but it returns to the restart

    Hi all

    I'm on a Windows 7 Professional machine.

    A little while back, I installed a software (PTC Creo2).  This software adds an environment variable, the user to my account variables.  This mess up my windows environment variable installed cygwin, so I removed it (using the control panel-> system-> System Properties-> Advanced-> supprimer delete Environment Variables, select HOME,).

    Then, everything works fine, until I have to restart.  When I reboot, returns the environment variable.  I looked in the registry and see nothing there.

    Any ideas on where it is prepared, how to remove permanently?

    Thank you

    Thanks for the comments. I mentioned a restart in Mode safe because in Safe Mode Windows starts without the various startup programs. It is a valuable tool when stalking the misconduct of applications such as Creo.

    FORMS_HTTP_PROXY_HOST

    FORMS_HTTP_PROXY_PORT

    FORMS_HTTPS_PROXY_HOST

    FORMS_HTTPS_PROXY_PORT

    FORMS_PROXY_BYPASS

    Here are the environment variables and not the applet parameters.  They are defined in default.env.  The purpose of these is similar to Proxy Server settings in your browser.  For example, if your Oracle Forms environment called Oracle publication BI-serveur, which is hosted on a server that is separate from the Forms Server through a proxy, then you may need to use these variables.

    Note that they only be used by the queries associated with executing JVM process server-side.  This includes forms to BI-Publisher and imported Java calls.
