Environment variable. Environment variables are a set of dynamic named values that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer. They are part of the environment in which a process runs. For example, a running process can query the value of the TEMP environment variable to discover a suitable location to store temporary files, or the HOME or USERPROFILE variable to find the directory structure owned by the user running the process.
In Windows, environment variables have a name and a value. For example, the variable windir (short for Windows directory) may have the value C:\Windows or another path where Windows is installed. Another common variable is named PATH.
