Environment

The Environment Tab allows you to define Path or other environment variables that will be modified for the current system while geek.menu is running.

The "Append to System Path" line allows you to add directories from your geek.menu drive to your system path, so that you can execute commands without including the full path.

If your applications require certain environment variables to be set to execute properly, you can enter them in the "Environment Variables" box, using a NAME=VALUE format on each line.  For example, to set the "PYTHONPATH" environment variable to allow Portable Python to work better, you might add
PYTHONPATH=$HOSTDRIVE$:\PortableApps\Python\App;

If you want geek.menu to leave these environment settings in place after a regular exit, only clearing them on an eject, choose the "Cleanup Environment only upon full ejection" option.
