I guess GET-ENV is an sdk function.
On my Windows 2000 there are six system variables that could be used to
tell I was on an Winnt machine:
1. OS
2. Os2LibPath
3. ComSpec
4. Temp
5. Tmp
6. WinDir
of course it is always possible that someone has erased one of these
environment variables, but I doubt that people who do this have what
might be considered as smoothly functioning windows machines anyway.
Anyway if the sdk has GET-ENV then I suppose it must have a function to
expand %SystemRoot%, perhaps by looking at the source you can find that?
