Windows Environment Variables?

Where can I get a list of all the windows environment variables available to a program running in windows, and short description of them? Do I just get them into the program using the env variable in the main definition? I'd like to get a copy for each version.

Write '::' to your code file

For example:

void CTestDlg::Fun()
{
::
}

So popup menu will appear and it will show you all environment variables and other members.

Actually what I need is a web site, preferably one that has a list and description of variables from Windows 95 - Windows XP, and everything in between. Using your method, I believe would only give me the variables that are on my computer. Not only that, I don't have a windows compiler. I'm just working on the data processing part of the project, and have nothing to do with the windows part, so I'm just using a text editor, but thank you.

Mmm, not sure what you mean by that. "::" just shows you what variables/functions there are in the global namespace, which would mean any global variables that are accessible. Any other variables that don't appear there probably won't be 'accessible' to the application. Also, I don't think there's too many global variables floating around. Mostly any variables you get for Windows are just returned from functions, passed as arguments, filled in by functions, etc.

Well you don't need to know, because that's not what I'm asking for. I need a wbesite with information on the Windows Environment Variables on Windows Operating Systems, from Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, etc..

Unless someone can think of a better way to do it. What I need in this section of the program, is to get as much data about its environment as it can. It will always be running with the data being stored in the same array, so it needs to be variables that will always be of the same format/type. KNowing when the program runs will be too late, and I need to do version for ever windows OS.

getenv()?
GetSystemLocale()/GetUserLocale()?
GetSystemInfo()?

Thanks, but again, I'm looking for a site than can maybe ensure that they have a fairly complete list.
