In SYSTEM environment I have variable PATH with value "C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ ..." Now I want create new variable PATH in my USER environment with value "C:\Apps;%PATH%". How to do it permanently? I have tried (without success) next steps: GUI: "System Properties" -> "Environment Variables..." -> field "User variables for ..." -> button "New.."Command-line: set PATH=C:\Apps;%PATH% setX PATH "C:\Apps;%PATH%" PATH C:\Apps;%PATH% Every time windows append my new value "C:\Apps" at the end of variable PATH or lost new (correct) value after I log off. :-( __________________________________________________________ If isn't above described anything, the following applies: Technical details: * OS: Windows Server v2008, English, Standard Edition, SP1 ** My User-Account is member of 'Administrators' local security group. * MS-SQL-Server: v2008-R2, English, Standard Edition, SP1 ** My User-Account is member of 'SysAdmin' db-role.

Now I am using next work around: I have added new value "AutoRun" to key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" with data "PATH=C:\Apps;%PATH%". But it will work only in "Command Processor" windows. It won't work for example in "Run" window. :-(

Hi, I did a test in my lab, when I open "Environment Variables..." under System Properties, and then find the System variables Path, and click edit, I am able to add c:\apps at the end of the variable. After that, I log off and log on again, check the result, it is correct and the value was changed as what I did. RegardsYan Li TechNet Community Support

Yes, I agree. But my problem is: not in modification of SYSTEM variable. Because modification of SYSTEM variable influence all users on this computer. I need influence this variable only in my USER environment.I need insert new value at begin of my environment variable PATH, not append at the end. Thx. :-) __________________________________________________________ If isn't above described anything, the following applies: Technical details: * OS: Windows Server v2008-R2, English, Enterprise Edition, x64, SP1 ** My User-Account is member of 'Administrators' local security group. * MS-SQL-Server: v2008-R2, English, Enterprise Edition, x64, SP1 ** My User-Account is member of 'SysAdmin' db-role.
