在不重启当前会话的情况下，向路径中添加变量的最简单方法是打开命令提示符并输入:

PATH=(VARIABLE);%path%

并按enter键。

要检查变量是否已加载，请键入

PATH

并按enter键。但是，在重新启动之前，该变量将只是路径的一部分。

这适用于windows 7: SET PATH=%PATH%

通过输入echo %PATH%测试，它工作正常。也设置如果你打开一个新的cmd，不需要那些讨厌的重新启动:)

如果它只涉及一个(或几个)特定的变量，你想要改变，我认为最简单的方法是一个变通方法:在你的环境和当前的控制台会话中设置

Set将把变量放在当前会话中 SetX将把变量放在环境中，但不是在当前会话中

我使用这个简单的批处理脚本将Maven从Java7更改为Java8(两者都是env。批处理文件夹在我的PATH变量中，所以我总是可以调用'j8'，在我的控制台和环境中，我的JAVA_HOME变量被改变:

j8.bat:

@echo off
set JAVA_HOME=%JAVA_HOME_8%
setx JAVA_HOME "%JAVA_HOME_8%"

到目前为止，我发现这是最好的和最简单的工作。 你可能希望这是在一个命令中，但它只是没有在Windows…

我使用这个Powershell脚本添加到PATH变量中。 只要稍加调整，我相信它也适用于你的情况。

就像凯文说的，没有捷径可走。在大多数情况下，生成另一个CMD框更简单。更令人恼火的是，正在运行的程序也不知道这些变化(尽管IIRC可能有一个广播消息来查看此类变化的通知)。

更糟糕的是:在旧版本的Windows中，你必须先注销，然后再重新登录，才能考虑到这些变化……

重新启动资源管理器为我做到了这一点，但只对新的cmd终端。

我设置路径的终端已经可以看到新的path变量了(在Windows 7中)。
