How not to inherit system environment when running programms

[rytrom]

When you run a progam from a commander the program inherits all system environment from the commander, but sometimes it's not useful (in my case it's always not) - I prefer to take it from the system environment as though the program is being started from windows explorer. Is there a way to configure it?

AFAIK, there is no way to do this, except quickly restarting TC.

This "workaround" I use too. But would it be cool to skip several unecessary clicks? IMHO it's very easy to implement. I suggest to create a feature request from it.

I'm actually for it, i think it is a good idea.

If anyone can tell me how to get access to the system environment, please let me know! To my knowledge there are no functions to do it, except for searching through the registry, but the location isn't documented and may vary between Windows versions...

Maybe you could try to contact Mark Russinovich from http://www.sysinternals.com/
He wrote the wonderful Process Explorer, which can show the environment variables for any process.

Hmm, I don't want to peek into other program's environment, this is certainly done with dirty tricks like dll injection into the program's process space. Such low level stuff may or may not work in newer Windows versions.
