There is also a programming called winset on the Win95 CD, in the
RESKIT. This program allows you to set environment variables in the
Windows global evironment. Unfortunately, it does not also set them in
the local VM env't, but it still works pretty well.

You still have to put the set the var in your autoexec.bat, but this way
you don't have to reboot in order to use the var.
