What happens if you type just the word set in a command line?
That was, in older windows versions a command that you could, and did in the
old days use to make changes to system variables, but not sure it works in
windows 7 at all, but if you just typed set and hit enter on something like
a windows xp/2000 machine, it would tell you all the currently set system
environment variables, and you could in fact use something like the
following to get them sent to a text file:
set > oldSet.txt
Then you could try copying the current set of variables/settings to the
clipboard, and reentering/resetting the ones you wanted.
In other words, find the path=
copy the very long string, excluding the part you don't want to the
clipboard, go back to command line, type in the following:
set path="
hit alt + space bar to activate system menu, but then hit E key to invoke
edit submenu that was specific to command line, and hit the P key to then
paste to the command line, type in the closing " and hit enter.
Now will just say that am not 100% sure this will work perfectly, even on an
older operating system, and don't know if will work at all in windows 7, but
anyway...
Stay well

Subject: [program-l] Reset System Variables
Hello,
I stupidly modified the system variable for my Vista 64bit machine and
added "sysWOW64 so that some applications could work with it.
I then started getting error messages saying windows was unable to locate
the sysWOW64 reg.exe or something like that. Unfortunately, it did not let
me get back into Computer properties to delete the sysWOW64 value I
entered.
I read on an MS blog that I can alter the variables from the REGEDIT.
However, after modifying the key, my system now does not have any audio.
So I can't even get JAWS to help me navigate around to fix the problem.
Please does anyone have any suggestions to fix this issue? Is there a way
I can maybe reset my registry settings so my machine can start working
again? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
LU
