[kepler-dev] Environment variables Problem: Help!

[Matt Jones]

I don't have Vista, and never will if I can avoid it ;0   But in past
versions of Windows, changing environment variables required a minimum
of logging out, and sometimes as much as a reboot, before the
variables were visible to the shell and to other programs. Hope this
helps,

Matt
