It's a reg_sz value in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir

Had to do a repair install of WindowsXP 64 on a machine in the house. Now, the %program files% variable is wonky.. it basically doesn't find it. (ie, go to a prompt, cd %program files% gets nothing) and programs, as a result, also are unable to find their icons, etc. or start quite right. Blah!
I've used RegCrawler to fix all drive letter changes (K:\ to G:\) which 
occurred for god knows what reason, but now I'm sitting here wondering if I 
just need to blow this thing away and start over, or if there is an easy way to 
reset the %program files% variable permenantly.
