Do not waste your time on things like the C-RTL and Win32 functions (SetEnvironmentVariable(...)) to set environment variables - these only affect the process' environment space - other processes will not be affected, nor will you see the change when you bring up up the system properties. If you need to change these values such that the change remains after your application exists and/or are visible to other application and the system, you will need to modify the registry. Look up the HKCU\Environment and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment registry keys for more information on how to do this. Peace!

If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!
