Hey guys i need help this time i need help on how to turn a normal variable into a enviromental variable?

Why do you need to use an environment variable? Generally speaking, that's for something making permanent changes to a system, such as adding a directory to the %path% variable.

White Light, the reason is because i am curious and keen to learn and know so please tell me.

I guess you could change an existing environmental variable by simply using the set command.. "Set PATH=%PATH%;%location_to_add%".

But, I'm not sure how one would set an environmental variable. Brb google.

Edit: try "setx /?"

[Greenp0ison]

Syntax for standard usage is as follows:

Defining an environment variable in the local user's environment:

Code

SETX <variable> <value>
SETX myname Greenp0ins

Defining an environment variable in the global environment:

Code

SETX <variable> <value> /M
SETX myname Greenp0ions /M

That should help.
