Kevin, Just want to say thanks for the handy tool. One thing that would be nice to see is a backup/restore feature. The reason for this is recently another vendor’s installer for some reason wiped the entire env path and I had to basically readd each entry back which is why I used your tool to help speed up the process.

Thank you thank you thank you! Great to see a developer so responsive, especially of a free piece of software. My computer is much happier. And I understand this was due to behavior of Visual Studio 2008, not something you built into the program, confirming my suspicion this sort of thing is down to Microsoft practices… Keep up the great work!

Lovely tool. I was about to write something like this myself, and on a hunch searched google to see if it had already been done. Yes! And with pretty much exactly what I had in mind that I wanted in the tool. Nicely done.

Very very nice tool!

…and yes, having a way to edit other system variables, would be great!

@Raj Indispensable tool. Saves time when installing/updating SDKs and databases. Makes path editing fast and easy.

Thanks a lot for this fine little program. I won’t need it very often, but when I need it, I’ll be glad it’s there

Kevin,

Wow, quick response, and good job! The multiple select thing is a minor thing anyway, especially if it’s a hassle.

Hi borniko,

Great ideas! I’m an old-school courier fan. I grew up with it and it’s my preferred monospaced font. But I can totally understand why others might not like it. It’s not pretty. So…I’ve added the ability to change it. The preference is stored in the registry and is persistent. You can change it by right-clicking in either path list and selecting “Change Font…”. It won’t be hard to find since it’s the only thing there. I’ll get this update pushed up the to website soon.

I’ve thought about the multiple select feature before, but just haven’t got around to doing it yet. It’s not going to be quite as trivial as adding Font support.

Great little utility, can’t believe I have tolerated the standard pathetic single text field for so long.

Any chance of an option to change the font, for those among us with a Courier allergy?
