Is there some trick to replace rebooting in windows?

Question

I've added the directory of php.exe to PATH variable,and it's available for administrator,but it's not available for user daemon.

But it's available after rebooting,why is rebooting necessary?Is there some trick to replace rebooting?

Answer 1

Changes to environment variables should be seen immediately by any new processes. Existing processes that are already running will continue to have their existing environment until they are restarted.

You should also make sure you were updating the system variables and not the user-specific variables for the administrator account.
