Environmental Variables Unexpected Behaviour
I wanted to include some environmental variables today and found some strange goings on. The variable I wanted to change was simply to add a PATH.
In the case of changing a user's variables:
It would be accepted but when I did a PC restart I was presented with a new blue screen that gave me the following options:
1/ Continue (which restarted the PC)
2/ Use a device
3/ Troubleshoot
4/ Turn off your PC
In the case of changing the system variables:
It would take me to the new interface and let me add my new path (through folder browse) but it would overwrite the last entry in the list. Adding a second new path did the same thing.
Anyone have any ideas?
After this post I went back in and tried using the edit line facility. I was able to exit out of the environmental variables window but I was not able to Click OK on the System Properties Window. Further I was not able to close this window at all - including the X in the top right hand corner.
Finally found the problem, I was using a file location for 1 of the paths.
