How to export and import environment variables in windows?

environment-variables, windows, windows-xp

Solution

You can use RegEdit to export the following two keys:

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

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment

The first set are system/global environment variables; the second set are user-level variables. Edit as needed and then import the .reg files on the new machine.

Problem

I found it is hard to keep my environment variables sync on different machines. I just want to export the settings from one computer and import to other ones. I think it should be possible, but don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
