Environment Variables

[David Sherman]

I want to get a list on all the Enviroment variables that can be used
from the Windows XP, run command.
Command like

%tmp%
%temp&
%systemroot%
%windir%

These enviroment variables open up specific folders in Windows. So are
they more environment variables that will open more folders in
Windows?

thanks

These environment variables store the names of various folders. Simply
typing %windir% on a command line will not open the windows directory,
it will get you an error message. Surrounding the name of an
environment variable with % signs on the command line causes the
command interpreter to look up the environment variable and substitute
its value for the %xxx% sequence.

Thanks for the list.

It was what I was looking for. I also found this site:
