A. When a user logs on, the system processes variables in the following order:
Dynamic variables, such as OS variables
System variables defined in System tools in the Control Panel
Variables defined in the autoexec.bat file
Environment variables defined for the current user in System tools in the Control Panel
If a variable is defined several times, the last setting takes precedence.
