Environment variables : where storede ?

[Pivert]

Hi,

where are the environment variables stored ?

I know how to add / modify them, but would like to be able to save them
somewhere for restoring purposes, just in case...

Thnaks !

Hi

Why not go to where you modify the Environment Variables and then save to a
text file?

Two places, depending on whether they are user or machine variables, but
both in the registry. The machine variables are stored at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment. The user variables are stored at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment.
