SC perm is (probably) what you're looking for.

Code: Select all

%tools%="D:\master\tools"
so i can run any file in this folder (via scripts) just by type "%tools%\app.exe"

Ok, you want real environment variables.

Since Vista, setx is available by default, for xp you need to download it...

Code: Select all

    run """%COMSPEC%"" /c SETX ""tools"" ""D:\master\tools""", , 2, 0;

Wouldn't registry editing suffice?
Edit: nope, that requires logging off/on... :whistle:

Be aware though that when setting Windows environmental variables in XYplorer that they may not be recognized "within" XY until a XY restart. See this User Environmental Variable Refresh and doing a refresh of environmental variables cid #505 won't help.

By placing it above your first use of the variable?
