Global Variables on Windows

[in.s@ne]

This is a bit of an odd question, but has quite a bit of use to me.

I remember ages ago I found a tutorial that taught me how to set up global variables that you can use from the run command in Windows XP (Things like %programfiles% and the like).
Come about 3 years later, it's gone missing and I lack the memory to do it again.

Does anyone know how?

Either use the set command at a DOS prompt, or Control Panel, System, Advanced, Environment Variables.

To see existing ones at the DOS prompt, just type set by itself.
