Every Windows child process "inherits" its environment
variables from its parent. After the "birth" of the child
process, there is no further contact with the parent when
it comes to environmental variables. In other words, when
you change some variable in System Properties then they
will NOT be passed on to pre-existing processes.

What are you actually trying to achieve?
