Since the last time I updated my computer my enviromental variables got screwed for some reason(the PATH variable didn't exist), and I set them back for java and maven. The tools that I currently use, and I have a problem with all other variables such as ping, rm,copy etc. How do I get these standard commands back?

According to Wikipedia and vlaurie.com, the default value is:

C:\Windows\System32\;C:\Windows\;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

But that doesn't include modifications by third-party apps.

Yes, it should have at least that. – Matthew Flaschen Feb 2 '10 at 9:41

I did set it .. but still nothing is happening, however I did set it from win enviroment, I'll try now with command line – user24795 Feb 2 '10 at 9:43
Any program that uses the PATH needs to be restarted. So consider restarting the computer after setting it in the GUI. You don't need to set it in multiple places. – Matthew Flaschen Feb 2 '10 at 10:14
