Well,

Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2 on a Mobile AMD Athlon XP 2200+
1,79GHz 480 MB RAM

I typed  SET in a command session and got the folowing:

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
APPDATA=C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Dados de aplicativos
CLIENTNAME=Console
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Arquivos de programas\Arquivos comuns
COMPUTERNAME=Computer
ComSpec=C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
FP_NO_HOST_CHECK=NO
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\Username

Path=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 1, AuthenticAMD
PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6
PROCESSOR_REVISION=0801
ProgramFiles=C:\Arquivos de programas
PROMPT=$P$G
SESSIONNAME=Console
SystemDrive=C:
SystemRoot=C:\WINDOWS
TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\USERNA~1\CONFIG~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\USERNA~1\CONFIG~1\Temp
USERDOMAIN=Computer
USERNAME=Username
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\Username
windir=C:\WINDOWS

As I don't think anyone will find my language settings from the vars above,
I took two printscreens:
