| Environmental variables |
Does it hurt if we have many environmental variables in windows? Does it affect the performance in someway?

I don't see any relation b/w environment variables and system performance (unless u played with some environment variables like cache size, virtual memory folder size, et al).
-
Also, just curious to know why u are using so many enviroment variables?
Then you may want to move them to XML files or windows registry?!

i don' know about window registry. Actually they were creating paths for a particular command window session and then removing it. though it is correct way of doing it, i got some other error. out of frustration i moved every thing to environ. var. thats y the question.

Environment variables don't harm the performance.
Karthik,
I don't think cache size etc are environment variables created by user. It is a just a configurable setting.
One more point regarding the environment variables that relates to system info (such as NO_OF_PROCESSORS, PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE), they are created and populated by the OS and I don't think user can change their values.
