Dieses Python-Skript [*] macht genau das:
"""
Show/Modify/Append registry env-vars (ie `PATH`) and notify Windows-applications to pickup changes.
First attempts to show/modify HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (all users), and
if not accessible due to admin-rights missing, fails-back
to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Write and Delete operations do not proceed to user-tree if all-users succeed.
Syntax:
{prog} : Print all env-vars.
{prog} VARNAME : Print value for VARNAME.
{prog} VARNAME VALUE : Set VALUE for VARNAME.
{prog} +VARNAME VALUE : Append VALUE in VARNAME delimeted with ';' (i.e. used for `PATH`).
{prog} -VARNAME : Delete env-var value.
Note that the current command-window will not be affected,
changes would apply only for new command-windows.

Im Folgenden finden Sie einige Verwendungsbeispiele, vorausgesetzt, sie wurden in einer Datei gespeichert, die setenv.pyirgendwo in Ihrem aktuellen Pfad aufgerufen wird. Beachten Sie, dass ich in diesen Beispielen keine Administratorrechte hatte , sodass die Änderungen nur den Registrierungsbaum meines lokalen Benutzers betrafen:
