I have just installed an app which overwrote my $PATH variable… so now, a bunch of stuff will not work. While I have a full backup, I am hoping that there is an easier approach than to restore, get the PATH, the “roll it forward” again.
Is there a location in the windows registry (or anywhere else) that stores an older $PATH setting?
Thanks,
GS
If anyone is interested, I found the answer…
using REGEDIT, it is under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment
In my case, it was under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002…
