Global Environment Variable Possible?

I would like to set an environment variable globally when PortableApps.exe starts so that all portable apps can use it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
D.

use a batch script

You could set enviroment variables using a Batch file.
How its done is described here: http://ss64.com/nt/set.html

This batchfile could be startet with the autostart functionality of portableapps.com.
But, as far as i know, there is no option to call such a script during shutdown of portableapps.com to unset your variables.

Thats why i requested this functionality a few minutes ago.
I also mentioned there, that this would solve your problem, too.

Environment Variables in Options Menu

Can the developer team implement "Environment Variables" option inside the PortableApps Menu ?
