Problems with environment variables

1

Since the last time I updated my computer, my environment variables got screwed for some reason(the PATH variable didn't exist), and I set them back for java and maven. The tools that I currently use, and I have a problem with all other variables such as ping, rm,copy etc. How do I get these standard commands back?

According to Wikipedia and vlaurie.com, the default value is:

C:\Windows\System32\;C:\Windows\;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

But that doesn't include modifications by third-party apps.

Any program that uses the PATH needs to be restarted. So consider restarting the computer after setting it in the GUI. You don't need to set it in multiple places. – Matthew Flaschen – 2010-02-02T10:14:52.453
