Restoring PATH in Windows

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Restoring Windows XP PATH variable

Upon installing Ruby and Instiki, my PATH got replaced completely with c:\ruby\bin.

Obviously, it never occured to me that any installer would do something like that, so I've no backup, nor any idea what was in the old one (but there was quite a bit in there).

Is there any way of restoring an old PATH variable?
(ideas given in similar question to this one, produced no results)

Answer 1

You can manually change it to the following default value (any customizations you made will have to be appended as well):

%systemroot%\System32;%systemroot%;%systemroot%\System32\Wbem;
