Using Windows Environment Variables

[DaveG]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Windows Environment Variables as part of the file name in an Execute File event? For instance, to launch windows explorer I thought I could use a file name %systemroot%\explorer.exe but that doesn't work. I've tried putting things in quotes, removed and added slashes etc. but to no avail.

I wanted to use %SYSTEMROOT% or %SYSTEMDRIVE% to make my skin portable between two machines that use different system drive letters ( C: and L:) and OSs ( XP and W2k). Does anyone know another way of achieving this?

Thanks

Easy fix, use this new exe, I add these new environment variables %systemroot%, %systemdrive%, %programfiles%

So your original idea of using

%systemroot%\explorer.exe

in os>execute file will now work.

That works fine! Thanks for a very quick solution Steven.
