[FIXED] Where are environment variables stored in the Windows Registry?

Issue

I need to access an environment variable remotely. To do this, I think the best way is to read it from registry.

Where are environment variables stored in the Windows Registry?

Solution

Here's where they're stored on Windows XP through Windows Server 2012 R2:

User Variables

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment

System Variables

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
