i have recently had to perform a reinstall on a system, in
which the drive is partitioned into system (c) and data (d)
volumes.

since the reinstall, i have tried using the SET commands
to modify the environment variables, but the changes will
not take effect permanently.

the issue is after the reinstall, the profiles that were
on d: are no longer the defaults, and the system created a
documents and settings on c drive where there was no such
directory before.

i have got a recommendation to modify the autoexec.bat
file, but before doing so, i would like to know if there
was a way perhaps in the registry to permanently set the
SET variables for USERPROFILE, ALLUSERSPROFILE, APPDATA,
TEMP, and TMP.

any recommendations would be appreciated. thank you.
 
FYI - XP doesn't use the AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. To set
environment variables, try
going into system properties, select the Advanced tab and click on the
"Environment Variables" button.
