Registry - Backup and Restore

and the user variables are here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment ?

i will test to change the system windows environment variables , restore with regedit and reboot
thanks

Well I've never needed to back them up but I do have software installed that checks for invalid paths. I have noticed that it does have a backup / restore option.

Example of backup:

Code:

V:\AppData\Local\Temp 
TMP
V:\AppData\Local\Temp 
PATH
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Icecream Screen Recorder\bin\gstreamer\x86\bin

SYSTEM
ComSpec

You can get the software needed from here:

Path Manager

Path-Manager download | SourceForge.net

Note: Don't make any changes unless you know what you are doing - however backup and restore is fine to use.

but does the program save a backup reg file ?

thanks !
ps sadly i can't add reputation to both of you

Path Manager uses text files - not a registry backup.

   Note

To keep backup, user can export the environment information. Just user Export button for that purpose which ask for a folder where this information will be saved. Two text files will be made, one for system variables and one for user variables. As for requirements the user can then import these files back to memory. However, even after import the changes still need to be committed.

If I make any changes they take effect here:

hkey_local_machine\system\CurrentControlSet\control\session manager\environment\

But I am the only user on my machine!
