title: Does echo %PATH% expand to only the system or also the user variables?
body: <p>In the top voted comment of the best answer here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6523979/how-to-persistently-set-a-variable-in-windows-7-from-a-batch-file">How to persistently set a variable in Windows 7 from a batch file?</a>) it is mentioned that  %PATH% expands to   the system plus the user variables. Is that true? In my laptop if I open cmd and I digit</p>
  
  <pre><code>    echo %PATH% 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only see the system variables. Can anybody clarify this point?</p>
