It's a duplicate, but why the downvotes without a comment for the OP? — Paolo Tedesco, Jun 13 '13 at 14:38
Aah, 3 down votes. LOL. Sorry, I am a Linux person, never worked on C#. Niether on Windows, so it could be a silly question for those who knows windows and C#. I have a small requirement to do this job. — Shweta Chandrakar, Jun 13 '13 at 14:44

@LittleBobbyTables dear little Robert Drop Table Students, what I meant is that it would have been polite of the downvoters to provide a little explanation about why this question was deemed unworthy. Easily googleable as it is, I've seen worse... — Paolo Tedesco, Jun 13 '13 at 18:58

Use the System.Environment class.

The method:

System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable()

and

System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable()
