Dynamic Environment Variables And Registry Keys

Dynamic Environment Variables And Registry Keys (aka DEVARK) is a lightweight Windows utility that enables expert users to share environment variables and registry keys with other computers on the local network. It contains a clear set of options and runs in the systray.

Software requirements and systray integration

The app's packed into a single executable that can be copied to a preferred directory on the disk or USB flash drive to launch DEVARK on any computer with minimum effort. On the other hand, it was built with the aid of .NET Framework, so you should make sure to have this software framework installed to get the tool working without any startup errors.
Although this isn't indicated through visual or audio means, the application creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area at startup to provide quick access to its configuration panel. It's semi-transparent and has a neatly structured layout split into two parts for environment variables and registry keys.

Seamlessly share environment variables and registry entries

New environment variables can be added to the list by entering the variable name, value and type (user, machine, proces). Meanwhile, new registry keys can be created by specifying the variable root, path, name, value, and type (string, unknown, expandstring, binary, DWord, multistring, QWord, none).
It's possible to add as many items as you want to the list, remove any entries, update information, as well as commit modifications from the tray icon's right-click menu. Changes are quicky applied.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no sorts of difficulties in our evaluation since the tool didn't hang, crash or indicate errors. DEVARK left a small footprint on system resources, using low CPU and RAM. Thanks to its approachable interface and options, Dynamic Environment Variables And Registry Keys can be easily handled by those interested in sharing environment variables and registry entries with other machines in LAN.
