You could try a system restore to an earlier time. Not sure if that restores environment variables or not but it's worth a try.

i already did sir but it did not work.....my problem now is that some .dll is missing and some programs are not properly working....

Which path were you editing?

the default path in environment variables, I was editing it to add another path for the jdk 1.6.... and unfortunately it was been deleted accidentally and I don't know how to get it back.... i need help...

Here is the Path on my Win 7 system: PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v 1.0\;C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared

You could use it as starting point.

thank you sir for the info it is a big help to me....I really appreciate it.
May I ask one more thing sir? do the path in the system variable of a desktop computer and a laptop are the same?

these .dll's you say you are missing? is this stopping you from the system restore? is that what you meant? that may be a larger problem if true.
