Simple Question

[cai_sebas]

Ive searched the forum and the guide but i cant find it. Maby its caused by my bad english .

I know some more

%SystemRoot% - System Root

%WinDir% - Windows Dir

%AllUsersProfile% - All users dir.

But does anyone know more than these such a programfiles, or the local disk.

I hope somebody does.

Keep in mind that half of those don't exist during an XP installation.

I had a list but I can't find it. Type set at T-13 or so to get the available ones at that time.

Is it possible to create custom variables like for my desktop %desktop% and %downloads% for my downloads drive?

[Alanoll]

%USERPROFILE%\Desktop

would be the logged in user's desktop.

as for creating your own, if you know the PATH to the folder....

just type at a command prompt

set DOWNLOADS=C:\Downloads

or via registry at

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
