User variables are read first and then the system variables. If there is a conflict, the user-defined variable will be selected.

Although, one question.
“However there is a slight difference in ‘PATH’ system variable, the user defined ‘path’ variable does not completely replace it. In fact, it appends with the system ‘PATH’ variable.”

Does the system PATH variable value come in the beginning of user PATH variable or at the end?
