What is the default PATH environment variable setting on fresh install of Windows 7
It seems that my PATH settings were deleted by some program (it currently has only entries for Digital Mars D utilities), so I'm asking what directories are included in path by default? Even the most basic things such as tracert or ping are not working for me.

I have:
%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
A fresh Windows installation does not have %CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live. – Gras Double – 2017-08-19T14:39:52.423

See the Windows 7 column in Default Values on Microsoft Windows.

they don't specify whether powershell is there or not in the PATH, and if anything it suggests it's not there by default, when quite likely it is. – barlop – 2016-09-23T05:17:26.767
I don't think this actually answers the question. It might show the default values for the variable names, but it doesn't show what the default PATH settings are. – None – 2010-09-27T20:23:38.297
In the table, %PATH% and %PSModulePath% rows specify the default PATH settings. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar – 2010-09-27T20:28:46.733
the answer for this one mentions WindowsLive, which rightly or wrongly, isn't mentioned in the one it says tihs is a duplicate of – barlop – 2016-09-23T05:28:00.513
@heavyd Looks like it is. I'm voting to close this one. – AndrejaKo – 2010-09-27T20:28:30.383
