I assumed all environment variables would be exported to the process. The problem is allowing environment variables to override registry
settings.

One idea would be to do both --- if an environment variable isn't set,
get the value from the registry and set the envronment variable.  If the
environment variable is set, use that instead of the registry --- that
might be the best of both worlds.

Enviroment variables are stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment. There is no problem to look there if any variable is set or not and - to add a registry key with new variable or to modify existing.
