System variables

[HMS Surprise]

Greetings,

I am trying some system variable that appear in shortcut targets as in
the 2 lines below. I looked at environment variables but did not find
them there. I know that SystemRoot is usually c:\windows but I want to
make my code robust.

Thanks,

jh

%SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe

%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

Hi jh,

Open a command prompt (Start, Run, type cmd click OK). Type set and
press enter. There are many variables there you can use.

Thanks for posting, Terry.

Is it possible to run this as a system type command from a script such
as AutoIt?


Thanks again,

jh

You can set them in the autoexec.bat file

Don't use it, but you could ask them directly:
supportATautoitscriptDOTcom (remove capitals and replace with characters)

Guess again. Windows XP does not recognize or process an autoexec.bat
file.
