Ouch, if I'm not mistaken Windows will recreated the most vital parts of the path upon reboot (I.e the paths to c:\windows\;c:\windosw\system32 etc).
Not familiar with Windows but a quick google gave me this page: http://superuser.com/questions/265532/how-to-extract-environment-variables-from-system-restore-point-windows-7-64-bit You should look at the instructions under "System:". Don't know if this will work though. Worst case I think you can recover back to the latest restore point or what it is called now a days in Windows. /Henrik Holst 2012/6/14 MIKE MCDANIEL <[email protected]> > I may have caused serious problems to my computer.
