Setting Windows/DOS environment variables

Post by jcfuller »

I fired up wine regedit to change the path but I don't have a HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment key??
I don't want to mess up the current path setting so where do I go from here?

Create it.

However there is a bug in Wine that user's key does not add to the system key. So if you need to change PATH - just edit it under HKLM. Wine does not have "system wide" registry so it's all pretty much related to one Wine instance only.
