Windows environment variable

[Greg]

Is there a way to set a environment variable in vb. like the following
command in dos:
set myserver=srv123456

I have tried using shell("cmd.exe /c set myserver=srv123456", appfochide,
true)

any help would be great.

AFAIK, you can't do this, because as soon as the command interpreter closes,
your registration dies with it, i.e. it's local to your instance. However,
you might want to take a look here: http://68.9.218.222:10081/default.aspx
