All the Windows environment variables are read by Vim and they are available in Vim as Vim environment variables. Vim environment variables begin with the character $. Hence, the Windows environment variable name is prefixed with the $ character when it becomes a Vim environment variable.

For example, the Windows environment variable %USERPROFILE% will be available as $USERPROFILE inside Vim.

This post shows how you can list all the environment variables or view the value of a particular variable.
