I wish to take an interest at experts, why creation of own environment variables by function SETENV it is seldom used for session-to-session information storage? It would seem that can be easier than create environment variable with a unique name (programer think that unique
) and to read with the help GETENV? However many programers create keys in the Registry, work with *.ini-files or text files of the own format. Whether there are for this purpose objective reasons?
Advantages are visible well, it is simplicity and high speed of reading from the Registry. What lacks?
