Yes, I tried installing the resource kit, but it required Internet
Explorer 4. So, off I went to find a copy of IE4 to download. No luck.
So, I tried installing IE5. I tried for several hours; the install kept
failing.
Besides, doesn't setx change the "global" environment -- the same as in
the System control panel? That's not really the effect we want.
