Re: Deleted PATH in Environment Variables by mistake.



A couple of programs that run in the background. I reinstalled them and they
seem to be doing fine, but how do I know for sure if something's not running
properly? There should be some kind of scanning software that would easily
search for Path inclusions and fix and problems.

Thanks for the help.
