Specifics of Environ Function?? 1

[jgoodman00]

Does anyone know of anywhere that I can find a complete listing of the possible envstring parameters. The MSDN library simple states this can be used to return a string associated with 'an operating system environment variable', but it does not say what envstring needs to be in order to return these strings. I currently know of two; "UserName" & "WinDir", but would like to know what other information is attainable through this function......

It's easy to display the environment in a list box:
[tt]
List1.Clear
Do
Tmp$ = Environ(List1.ListCount + 1)
If Tmp$ = "" Then Exit Do
List1.AddItem Tmp$
Loop
[/tt]
A complete listing of all the possible environment variables is quite unlikely. The items populating the list box will be representative of the environment variables you will find on similar machines (you will probably find more items on an NT server than you will find on a typical Win9x box).
