How to get the System environment variables using MFC API?

Hi,
We need to get the system CLASSPATH in our Application. Is there any API to get it?
The GetEnvironmentVariable() method is giving only user variables, but not the system enironment variables.
One more question: We have used the RegEnumValue to get the registry values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SessionManager\EnvironmentClassapth. But it is returning only some values, but not all the values. What could be the reason?

Please reply as soon as possible as it is very urgent for us.
Thanks in advance

You could use the
char *getenv( const char *varname );

function.

Hi Madhura,

Could you post the code where you read the registry using RegEnumValues?

For Gus,
Sorry yaar, My idea was not to copy your answer, but what can I do if we know the same thing. As there is no other answer I was compelled to give it.
And one more thing I have added one more point not only yours.

For Madhura.
Thanks for your assessment.
If you do not mind may I know something about you. I guess you are Indian and also Maharashtrian. Will you please add something in your profile?
