After changing an environment variable, Launchy does not update it's local versions of these variables. The results is children processes of Launchy set out of variables.

A message is broadcasted, described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682653%28VS.85%29.aspx and here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms725497%28v=VS.85%29.aspx that could notify Launchy of new variables. It is also possible to scan HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment for new and changed variables.
