You may
1. Create a batch file like this:
set ROOTSYS=c:\root
path %rootsys%\bin;%path%
root
and then create shortcut for this file on your desktop
- This way one creates environment for only ROOT session
2. Start "Command prompt"
Perform all above "by hand"
3. Select
"My Computer" with "Right mouse button" -> Properties ->
Environment ->
Variable: ROOTSYS
Value : c:\root
Variable: PATH
Value: %ROOTSYS%\bin;%PATH%
- This way one registers ROOTSYS variable and change PATH with
his profile and it affects all his application and sessions.
Under the Administrative account one can set this for System
variables as well and this will affect ALL users of his
computer.
Hope this helps,
Valery
