This is a small program written in C# which allows to change/add/delete windows environment variables. More features maybe developed later.
It is writting in C# using .NET Framework 2.0. The application won't run if you don't have the .NET framework installed (this is available via Windowsupdate or as a separate download.

The main advantage compared to the original windows dialog to change environment variables it that the windows is resizeable and the variable values can be entered in a multiline textbox.
Also a nice list based dialog is provided. The variable value is splitted in multiple list items separated by a custom separator character.

User or system based variables can be modified. No security checks are implemented to prevent normal users to change system variables. Maybe this is handled by the OS itself.
