%ProgramFiles% resolves to "C:\Program Files" as a normal user but it resolves to "C:\Program Files (x64)" as the "Local System" user. I wonder why this is happening? I'm using "set" |

%ProgramFiles% resolves to "C:\Program Files" as a normal user but
it resolves to "C:\Program Files (x64)" as the "Local System" user. I wonder why this is happening? I'm using "set" to display all the environment variables. I'm using SysInternals's PsExec to run cmd as Local System. |

It seems that it's not a user issue. Instead it's the difference between 32
bit and 64 bit processes. PsExec is a 32 bit app. > %ProgramFiles% resolves to "C:\Program Files" as a normal user but > it resolves to "C:\Program Files (x64)" as the "Local System" user. > > I wonder why this is happening? > > I'm using "set" to display all the environment variables.

32-bit processes "see" the file system differently. I haven't used PsExec,
but if it's a 32-bit process, it's running the 32-bit version of cmd, so I'm not surprised. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "JH" <jh_ng@newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:uJvmL2lqIHA.1316@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > It seems that it's not a user issue.
