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(). |
