Why not just run the initial program from a batch file. That is... rem This batch file will start the program and alter the ENVIRONMENT @echo off myprog.exe call change.bat rem This is the end of the batch file Now... as myprog.exe runs it creates a text file to be run as a batch file called change.bat. All it needs to do is something like this... if it needs to change something, create a file that has... @echo off echo Setting variable to constant set VARIABLE=CONSTANT ... ... if it doesn't need to change something, just write one that says... @echo off echo Not changing a thing... :) echo; And thats it. Since you are not changing the original batch file DOS won't complain about not finding the batch file and since it hasn't run the second batch file when the program terminates your changes will be made. -- ------------==============/(*)\==============------------ | Craig Lovegren | | craigl@teleport.com | ------------==============\(*)/==============------------
