I know of a few variables:

%userprofile%

%allusersprofile%

%windir%

%systemroot%

%systemdrive% (this goes to the boot drive for me instead of the system drive...)

Where can I find a list of all the variables?

Type This In Cmd promt Set

Then Hit Enter To Get A List

Thank you. I knew it had to be something simple! So, it looks like they are:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%

%APPDATA%

%CommonProgramFiles% (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files)

%ComSpec% (cmd.exe)

%HOMEPATH% (same as %userprofile%)

%ProgramFiles%

%SystemRoot% (same as %windir%)

%TEMP% or %TMP% (%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp)

%USERPROFILE% (%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Brandon)

%winbootdir% (Win9x "Windows" folder if dual booting)

%windir% (winnt folder)

I noticed set did not display %systemdrive%. Are there more of these variables that SET does not display (even when using SET /?)?
