  Calling this method is equivalent to calling the <xref:System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable%28System.String%2CSystem.String%2CSystem.EnvironmentVariableTarget%29> overload with a value of <xref:System.EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process?displayProperty=nameWithType> for the `target` argument.

  If the `value` argument is not empty (see the discussion of deleting an environment variable later in this section for the definition of an empty value) and the environment variable named by the `variable` parameter does not exist, the environment variable is created and assigned the contents of `value`. If it does exist, its value is modified. Because the environment variable is defined in the environment block of the current process only, it does not persist after the process has ended.
 
  If `variable` contains a non-initial hexadecimal zero character, the characters before the zero character are considered the environment variable name and all subsequent characters are ignored.
