This post will be a little more basic than most things I write here. I'm used to using MacOS/X on the desktop and Linux on the server side. So when I have to use Windows for one reason or another it sometimes takes me a bit to figure things out.
Today I was helping a co-worker with Oracle Application Express (APEX for short) and the install directions said to run "cd $ORACLE_HOME/apex" and then run some commands. The cd command didn't work because Windows does environment variables different than Unix operating systems.
This article covers it in more detail but in short Windows indicates environment variables by putting a % (percent sign) before and after the variable. Variables are not case sensitive.
You can show them by running "echo %ENV_NAME%" and set them on the command line by running "ENV_NAME = new_value". You can make the setting part of your login profile by right-clicking on "My Computer", then click Properties, then Advanced, and then Environment Variables. This is for XP, the location may be different on Vista or other versions of Windows.

Tortoise SVN for Windows tips
I just figured out two new features in Tortoise SVN today. First off, you can get SVN info showing up in Windows Explorer.
1. Go to a folder that contains files you checked out from SVN. Go to View -> Details
2. Right click on any column to get a list of available columns.
3. Select "More" and scroll down until you get to the list of "SVN" details. I highly recommend SVN Status & SVN Revision.
4. Click OK and then refresh the window. You'll have SVN status & revision # on all the files in the folder controlled by SVN.
5. (Optional) Go to Tools -> Folder Options and click the View tab. Hit Apply to All Folders & you'll have this same view for all folders next time you open them.
Trick #2.
1. Open up TortoiseSVN settings & go to "General".
2. Click on the "Set filedates to the "last commit time"
3. Hit Apply & then OK.
Your files from SVN will now show the last time you committed them as the modification time. One note here: this didn't seem to work for me until I deleted my files from my SVN working copies & checked them out again.
