Append to system variable path from batch file

Question

I want to add a few lines to Windows system variable path.

The batch file I have now appends these lines to user variable, not system variable.

How do I need to change it in order to append to system variable?

Here's my batch command:

SETX path "%PATH%;C:\development\sdk\tools;C:\development\sdk\platform-tools"

Answer 1

use setx /M to modify the system var (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE), by default it modifies the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
