Use this at your own risk. Rename it to whatever you like with a .bat extension. Place it on your desktop and double-click to open. It uses the setx and associate commands which you may have to get from the Microsoft resource kit. It is based on the fact that you have all the paths to the code based on the %CDSROOT% in your System PATH environment variable. Like %CDSROOT%\tools\pcb\bin;%CDSROOT%\tools\bin;........ Occasionally the menus will get confused using this method but you can just reset them to defaults. Other folks have done similar methods where they map a drive letter to the appropriate release, this way the path and all can remain the same. Others will also have multiple pcbenv folders, one for each release (like pcbenv_142 pcbenv_152) that they will copy to the standard pcbenv based on the release desired. This method could be helpful for Patrick's problem. There are a bunch of ways to tackle the requirement.
