Windows variables are stored in the registry. You can change them by adding or modifying values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment.

Below, an example for adding two variables for Cygwin - with it, applications using cygwin1.dll will be able to use UTF-8 character in file and path names:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment] 
"CYGWIN"="codepage:utf8" 
"LC_CTYPE"="C-UTF-8"


Import with:

regedit /s "%SOFTWARE%\cygwin.reg
