Code: "Clientname = " + %CLIENTNAME% + @CRLF You may also use ExpandEnvironmentVars(), where the environment variable is present in a string, such as an EXPAND_SZ read from the registry.

Why would you want the overhead of a redundant macro? What do you think is more useful about a macro that having the value presented that way is superior to having it in an environment variable? Do you forsee a problem with the environment variable being unavailable or spoofed?
