   Nope, thats something else.

   Some years ago Google stopped wanting to work with my non-javascript   
   browser.  Who's choice was that ?

   Its certainly not system-wide.

   Ah, just for the command-processor processes.  That makes more sense.

   [snip]   
      
   That explains nothing about its usage.

   In the command-processor process the change is made in (iow: nothing "system   
   wide" about it).  Yeah, I noticed.   
      
      
   Bottom line :   
   The question still stands : What is the "=C:" environment variable used for   
   ?
