In a bash shell, you can edit your environment variables, run source ./.bashrc
and refresh the values of environment variables in an already open shell. Does Windows have a similar command that you can run to do this from the command prompt?
(for instance I might change my system %PATH% variable in the properties of Computer, and then want my existing cmd.exe window to refresh the environment variables from there.

SET variable=string
Variable is the new variable you want to create (or an existing one)
String is what you want to assign to variable

NOTE: Changes made with
SET
will only remain for the CMD session.
