| | Changing system environment variables I know I've done this before on a Vista system, but on a new install I can't find any way to change the system environment variables: I need to add something to the 'path' variable. Please help! |

| | Re: Changing system environment variables Thanks. Obvious when you know where to look (I must have been there and not seen the button  ). Meanwhile, someone pointed me to the registry entry(not easy to find) and I edited that.

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Changing system environment variables Guys I'm not sure if this is a related topic. But my laptop has twin hard drives. By default Windows downloads and saves files to the same drive that the OS is installed on. Where and how can I make a change so that the first drive (C is "OS only" and the second drive (D is where all user files and data are stored?And once I've made this change, will "save" operations point to the D: (files and data) drive by default? I'm running Vx64. Thanks! TW |
