Exactly what it says. I can set per-user environment variables, either from Windows > type "Path", or using RegEdit, or even from a Python script.
But if I run an application (e.g. from Launchy, or launch it from Chrome), it won't pick up the new variables. I've got to start a new cmd
or Windows Explorer (I think) to get the new values.
Now, obviously I can set them on a per-use basis, but I want to set them globally for my account, and also for whatever process I happen to be using at the time. Is this possible? And is it possible (or easier) to do from a Python script?
