I have a script that updates the Registry key
"HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\" with an
"updated" path. My problem is that even though the environment is updated
the DOS path is not. I have to go into Sytem Properties, Advanced,
Environment Variables, and click OK before the path is updated.

Is there anyway to force a DOS path update from within my script.
Thanks in advance.

If you change NT4's system environment (=Registry) its changes won't
updated to all currently running processes. Only new processes will
inherit the new environment. Therefore you need to restart your
machine (or all programs and services...)
