Hi all,

In UNIX, for changing the directory path, there is "cd" command. .This works fine in windows 7 too.. But the problem comes when we are trying to change the path using environment variables. .

In UNIX, cd $JAVA_HOME changes the path to the value set for JAVA_HOME,

Similarly is there any command in Windows which does the trick from command prompt for changing path using Environment variables. .

Please let us know if further info is needed. .

many thanks

it's the same
type set in a command prompt it show's all environment variables
Code:
C:\Users\MyUser>cd %ProgramFiles(x86)%
C:\Program Files (x86)>
