Vista - Windows xp path

Hi there,

I am trying to create a vb script that will do the following:

Copy the Windows xp System path variables to other location / file.

in addition, another script that that will ADD the path that was copied
earlier to system path.

Thank you very much for your help.

you are trying to achieve?

Thank you for response.

If you go to:
Start
Control panel
system
Advanced tab (and then press on)
Environment Variables
Under System variables, double click on "path variable"

The purpose of the script is to save the content of this line (with script
off course)
and then with another script to add it again.

I hope it is much more clean now.

Thank you for your big help.

You could perform this task with some VB Script but a batch file solution is
much simpler. Here you go.

To save an environmental variable:
@echo off
echo %path% >c:\MyPath.txt

To restore an environmental variable:
@echo off
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('type c:\MyPath.txt') do set PPP=%%a

Note that the second command will set PPP only in the current console
environment. If you want to set it globally then you need to use a command
such as setx.exe which is included with the Windows resource kit.
