no cos as an example, if you permanently set an environment variable, so, you use setx or the GUI, then run set to display them, it isn't changed for the "session" yet, whereas if you opened a new command prompt, then it'd be loaded into the session.
I want a way to do like a 'set', that displays the permanent ones. not the current ones.
just like setx sets permanent ones, and one would have to do set afterwards to get them set for the current session, or load a new cmd prompt. So there is a distinction there.

Ah yes, I suspected this is what you were after
This is where XP stores it's permanent variables,
You enumerate RegPath and you'll get the permanent variables.
see reg query /? for help.
