Remove environment variable |
|
|
Hello,
The script below works to delete the value of the path, but not the path
variable itself. Our machines have no User environment Path variable set,
only the System Path variable. An altered version of the script below
creates the Path variable and sets the value. I only need the path when I
run a specific app and don't want to leave the path variable lingering. Is
there a way to completely remove the Path user environment variable?
I'm not married to this particular script. If there is a better way to
perform this (or the action of creating the path variable to begin with, I'm
open to ideas...preferably in vbs.
'Begin script
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set colUsrEnvVars = objShell.Environment("USER")
colUsrEnvVars("PATH") = colUsrEnvVars("")
Wscript.Echo "Current User Path = " & colUsrEnvVars("PATH")
'End script
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

The WshEnvironment object has a Remove method...
Set colUsrEnvVars = objShell.Environment("USER")
colUsrEnvVars.Remove("PATH")
