On windows home we have several users (mostly family members). These users have different path requirements. Can they set their respective path ( without affecting others)? If that is not possible, how can the admin change the path for a particular user?

Do they have their own accounts? If not, why not? – DavidPostill Apr 30 '21 at 18:15

@DavidPostill Yes, they have. Additionally, I have admin and standard user account on the same machine. I could not figure out a when logged in as a standard user, how to change my PATH. – qqqqq Apr 30 '21 at 18:20

Right click *My PC - Properties - Advanced System Settings* (at bottom of page) - *Environmental Variables* button. – user1292580 Apr 30 '21 at 23:05

@user1292580 For a standard user, clicking on Advanced System Settings results in a pop up for admin password. – qqqqq May 01 '21 at 01:18

@qqqqq - Be sure you are modifying the user's PATH variable, under `user variables for ...` instead of PATH under `System variables`. I have verified the [accepted answer](https://superuser.com/questions/25037/change-environment-variables-as-standard-user) works for the current version of Windows 10 – Ramhound May 01 '21 at 05:05
