Does anyone knows the name for this folder references?
%systemrrot%
%temp%

Anyone has the full list?
 
Hi,

I presume you mean %SystemRoot% in the first one. These are environment variables that are used by the operating system to determine various options.

To see a full list in operation, open a command prompt (start -> run CMD.EXE) and type SET | MORE

To answer your questions, however:
SystemRoot contains the top level directory of the Win2K installation. It is normally C:\WINNT

TEMP is the directory where the operating system should direct its temporary files to. This will vary depending upon the user logged into the system.

I am trying to create a self extracting zip file.
So i was hoping that i can get the full list of the enviromental variables.
Thanks very muchy.
 
Environment variables are anything that is set in the environment. There isn't a "fixed" set of variables. Start->Help and select "Environment Variable" on the Index tab. This should provide the information you seek.

You can get a list of the variables in use by the system by opening a command prompt and typing 'set' (without the quotes.

This will give you a list of the variables and their current value(s).

Good Luck!!!
