Please follow the directions given... The results you received are due to
you typing "SET" in the START --> RUN prompt, not the CMD prompt.
If you want to get the results straight from the START --> RUN prompt, you
can type this:
CMD /K SET
Click OK.
(If you type just "CMD", you receive a "Command Prompt"; if you typed just
"COMMAND", you receive a "Command Prompt". Both of these are DOS Emulators
really - as there is no DOS environment in Windows XP. the "CMD" version
gives you more options/tools/long filenames/etc.)
