Known Limitations
- SetX writes variables to the master environment in the registry. Variables set with SetX are only available in future command windows, not in the current command window. This is a limitation of Windows 2000.
- When accessing REG_MULTI_SZ values in the registry, only the first item is extracted and used.
- Only the HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hives are supported.
- Values added to the User or Machine environments cannot be removed with SetX (as a corresponding one can be removed from the local environment by using SET with a variable name and no value.)
- Registry values of type REG_DWORD are extracted and used in hexadecimal mode.
- File Mode supports parsing of CR-LF text files only.
