I just happened to look in my System>Advanced>Environment Variables the
other day and noticed that I do not have a "Path=" variable!? Can someone
enlighten me on where this info is stored and how I can restore it if at
all? If you have some of the defaults for WIN-XP SP2 that would be a start.

Thanks in advance . . . Tom Johnson
 
This is in mine at present.

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem

Hi

This is what is in the Path statement here:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\DPDrv

What do you see if you type

path

at a command prompt?

Hi,

I suggest you download and run Fixpath.exe, it should repair
your path setting.

Fixpath.exe is in fixpath2.zip available here:
http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/misctools.html

To see Fixpath's output, run it from a command prompt...
 
Thanks Mark for the quick response. I am real curious now as to what
application might have invalidated this info

Thanks again. . .Tom J.
