I have a Windows 2000 desktop application which requires a USER environment variable to be changed every time you use it. I have a VBscript that will change the env varirable but if I start the application in the script it does not recognize the new value of the USER varirable.
If I start the application after the VBscript ends it recognizes the USER variable. Is there a way to get the application to recognize it when executed from within the VBscript.
