I was writing a batch file that was supposed to automatically set up a computer to receive "psexec" remote commads. Unluckly i didn't really pay attention to what i was writing and i wrote this command and then ran It:
setx /M Path "C:\Windows\System32\PSTools"
You can imagine what happened... I erased all the other path variables! Then, panicking, mis-reading an online-forum, I restarted the computer. I had no backups, no saving points and neither, obviously, opened cmd's or powershell's session. My questions are:
- Is there still a way to recover the path variables i lost or they're gone forever?
- If they're gone, is there a way for me to like "re-write" them or just get a list of the missing ones?
I know that my questions will seem stupid to the experienced programmers and i apologise for that, but I actually started this project with almost zero skills in bat, cmd, and the other stuffs... Thanks to everyone that will help <3
Updated:
Ok, i have found in "C:\" a folder called "Windows.old", is It possible that inside It are still stored the path variables? Inside this folder there are mostly the same folders and files as "C:\Windows" one and is full of ".mui" files, but if I do the "advanced start-up" the computer says there are no restore points. What should I do?
