I want to set environmental variables permanently through a batch file. Is there a command to set Permanent Environmental Variable (other than SETX) for Windows XP service pack 3?
command SETX JAVA_HOME="C:\java\jdk-1.4" is not supported in my machine. It is Windows XP service pack 3.

Per user settings command line:
% reg add KEY /v JAVA_HOME /t REG_SZ /d "C:\java\jdk-1.4"
For user only settings replace KEY with:
HKCU\Environment
For per machine settings replace KEY with:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
(Attention: there is a space in the last key, quote it with " !)

hey can u tell me where can i find similar commands like this one. – e.hunnigton – 2010-04-27T05:38:57.257
1define "similar". modifying the registry? thats not so similar to, lets say, deleting files. best way to find things is to have a problem and to search for an answer here on superuser and, if nothing fits, ask your next question – akira – 2010-04-27T06:03:11.847

@MJM: the command is the one i posted. right there, 2nd line. – akira – 2012-11-12T10:34:26.890
you mean specifically via command-line? or will a control panel suffice? – quack quixote – 2010-04-27T04:59:59.567
I want to do it through the batch file since it should be done for several machines. – e.hunnigton – 2010-04-27T05:27:51.993
You can also use
