I've discovered that if I add a new Environment Variable via the System
application of the Control Panel and I have a shortcut to an executable the
process does _not_ contain the newly created variable.  If I start the process
by hand it _does_ contain the newly created variable.

The solution:

1) Reboot.
2) Cause the shortcut to be modified.  When the shortcut is updated the newly
created variable will be contained.

I am using WinNT 4 sp4.
