Change the order of Windows PATH variable entries

Environment Variables Editor 1.5 Beta 5 helps you to simplify the task of changing order of PATH variable entries. Just open the Path editor tab, select the desired entry or even bunch of them and take them to a better place with “↑ Move up” or “↓ Move down” buttons.

In case you are a keyboard lover (as I am), you are more than welcome to use Alt + and Alt + .

Eveditor 1.4 adds Control Panel integration

Starting from version 1.4, environment variables management becomes even easier — Eveditor now is accessible right from Windows Control Panel:

Environment variables editor in Control Panel

In Control Panel Category view, you may directly access the tasks of managing User or System environment variables.

In addition, we’ve updated icons used in the application with high quality ones provided by Windows, so now we expect them to scale pretty good. For example, here is a screenshot of Eveditor running on Windows 8 with 2880x1800px resolution with 200% scale. And yes, the icons are getting better with every new version of Windows!

High quality icons in Eveditor

Back to school! =)

Eveditor 1.3 final is out

Today we are sharing the new version of Eveditor with everyone.
The change list for 1.3 version was described in the previous post. However, there is one minor addition:

In earlier versions we used the same yellow lock icon for 2 categories of variables: for protected ones (unless you are under Administrator account) and for those, that are automatically populated by OS (so no one could change them).
Starting from version 1.3 we use different icons for those 2 categories of variables:

ProtectedVariablesIcons

Now yellow lock icon shows that the corresponding variable is protected and can’t be edited in any case. Such variables are not stored in windows registry, they are created by OS and placed right in Explorer.exe process space.
Shield icon indicates that the variable requires administrator privileges.
