Introduction to Environment Variables
Environment variables define the system and user environment information.
Environment variables provide information that Windows XP Professional uses to control various applications.
![Page 22: 1 Chapter Overview Configuring and Troubleshooting the Display Configuring Power Management Configuring Operating System Settings Configuring and Troubleshooting](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56649e805503460f94b846c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

How Windows XP Professional Sets Environment Variables
1. Windows XP Professional searches the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, if it exists, and sets any environment variables.
2. System environment variables are set next. These variables override any conflicting
variables from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
3. User environment variables are set last. These variables override any conflicting
variables that have already been set.
