First of all, you shouldn't reuse an existing variable name like TEMP. If the desktop is running Win2000 or later you should use SYSTEM

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set colUsrEnvVars = objShell.Environment("SYSTEM")
colUsrEnvVars("myVar") = "Upgraded"
Wscript.Echo colUsrEnvVars("myVar")

You also won't see the new variable until you open a new CMD window.

temp was just a example.
still if open a new cmd window i lose the purpose of what i was trying to do...
i was passing a sys variable to a .exec cmd
like:
("cmd /c logoff %sessionid% /server:" & servername )

but i have figured out another way.
like:
("cmd /c logoff " & resultid & " /server:" & servername )
duhh..

thanks anyways for the post.
