    Hello,

    I'm interested in opinions regarding when to use the setenv function and when to use the vla-put- functions to modify environment variable using visual lisp.

    Is there criteria that can be used to determine which function will work best? I have considered them pretty much interchangeable but usually use the vla-put functions.

    Just curious. thanks,

    Geoff

    I don't know about better/worse but I've found a few
    things that could not be set with vla-* functions.

    (setenv "MRUFilesToList" "9")
    (setenv "ShowFullPathInTitle" "1")
    (setenv "HideSystemPrinters" "1")

    So sometimes you don't have a choice.
