command line - Set Environment Variables Windows -
first off, i'd apologise if has been covered. it's difficult filter through existing issues similar one. so in windows there 2 (as far i'm aware) ways set environment variables. first 1 through command prompt , second through system properties in control panel. the former more desirable me have issue variable lasts , exists in session. gets considerably annoying when have re-set java path every time. the latter have resort to, takes time , once in blue moon i'll forget locate menu. is there have in command prompt set permanently? possibly flag or switch append command? the setx command can modify environment variables persistently: setx provides command-line or programmatic way directly , permanently set system environment values. it's quite powerful tool read notes on page though because there few little catches using it.
