In windows 7, my system path is too long. I want to edit it so I can remove some unneeded paths. However when I click advanced system settings ...
[Window Title] %windir%\system32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe
[Content] Windows cannot find '%windir%\system32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
[OK]
Since the path is now too long, I can't edit the path anymore ....
Is there another way to edit the system path?
EDIT
I found it in regedit at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path
Now I just need to know what a healthy path should look like ...
3Just leave stuff like Windows,System 32,PowerShell directories and additionally things like SQL server paths, python, perl, mysql paths, etc. etc. And you can also invoke the same system properties window by following the path:
%windir%\system32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe
. You can just open that from "Run...". You can post your%PATH%
