How to set user environment variables in Windows Server 2008 R2 as a normal user?


You can also use this direct command line to open the Advanced System Properties:

sysdm.cpl

Then go to the Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables


OK I found it. Arg, an exercise in frustration. They left the old window menu traversal path for changing environment variables in there, but limited access to administrators only. As a normal user, if you want to change it, you need to go through a different set of options to arrive at the same frigging window.

Control Panel -> User Accounts -> User Accounts -> Change my environment variables.


Step by step instructions:

  • Go to Control Panel \System and Security\System
  • Click on Change Settings
  • Go to “Advance” tab
  • Click on Environment Variables
