Windows Registry Variables vs. Environment Variables?

Use environment variables when you intend to be configured by other applications (or by a technical user) and that this configuration could be different (i.e. You have 2 instances running at the same time, with different settings). Cluttering a user's environment isn't usually necessary.In most cases, use the registry, or a config file stored in $HOME\AppData\Roaming\YourApp.

When using windows services, environment variables can be a pain: Just changing the variable and then restarting the service will not help. Usually the system needs to be restarted. If the service looks up settings in the registry, this is much easier.

I saw this behavior on Windows XP, I'm not sure if the later versions have resolved this issue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
