For what I know, 64-bit systems does not supports short names for Program files and Program files (x86). --82.226.255.74 (talk) 21:57, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Progra~1 applies to the x86 program files directory I have on D drive, as there is no "Program Files" directory. So the blanket claim that Progra~1 and Progra~2 apply to specific directories is false in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.144.127.200 (talk) 18:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC) To obtain the short name you should execute the command dir /x~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmz668 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--Curttyl1 (talk) 05:49, 29 June 2012 (UTC) This was useful information I thought and I tried to clean the page up a bit, but it still needs references...feel free to make edits or suggestions of such![reply]

There is a cross-wiki discussion in progress as to whether c: should be enabled globally as an interwiki prefix for links to the Wikimedia Commons. If the proposal gains consensus this will require the deletion or renaming of several pages on the English WIkipedia whose titles begin with "C:", including one or more redirects to this page. Please take a moment to participate in the discussion.
There is also a related discussion on the English Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 February 16#C:ATT to which you are invited to contribute.

Environment variables

Please do not delete text from Wikipedia just because there are no "references", as anyone can easily test with their own Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 installation that everything works as written. (Win XP or older are not that important, as those operating systems do not get security updates, with rare exceptions).

But if you have time to add references, copy-paste from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

Interestingly, I did not find much with Google or Windows Help (Press F1 from Desktop).
