The Win32_Environment WMI class represents an environment or
system environment setting on a Windows computer system.
This demo and illustration only show some of the available
information from the class. For a complete listing see the table
in the Comments section below. Note that some systems may not
return information in all class properties.
The system variables (ie %systemroot%) are expanded
(column three above) into
their actual path information for the current user by calling ExpandEnvironmentStrings().
