    Hi, Iam Leela Krishna from India. I would like to know is there any to find the maximum length of PATH (system environment) Variable on a particular machine. As you might be aware that some windows systems at present support 1024 and 2048 characters, Is there anyway to find whether a particular machine is having the maximum limit of PATH is 1024 or 2048. Also is there anyway to find the list of PATCHES and HOT FIXES installed on a machine, this can help me atleast to find out if a machine has the Microsoft Hot Fix for increasing PATH length. Thanks a lot for your replies. Regards, Leela Krishna

      Try to use the SET command line and it will display a list environment variable in your computer. Try to use this command SET > Env.txt to save all of the result to a file. And you might need to programming to read and count the content of the file line by line. Hope this would help you.
