To solve your problem, there are many possible solutions. You'll have to decide which one works best for you. Here are some suggestions:
1. Modify your registry so that the environment variables are set in some global sense. (Note that I have no idea how that is done.)
Hi all Easy I think... 1. Right click on 'My Computer' (or whatever you might have renamed that icon to) on your desktop 2. Open 'Properties' 3. Choose the 'Advanced' tab 4. Click on the button 'Environment variables' Voilà! You can set user variables and global variables! These instructions were for Windows XP - but Win2k was similar (or identical...?).
