Modify this key:
Path: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Environment]
key: windr
first delete this key that already exists (if it's typ is:
REG_SZ if not you have a more serious explorer issue), then in it's place create a new key of typ:
Expandable String by right clicking in the right pane.
it's type will be:
REG_EXPAND_SZ name it
windir as it was before, and make the data
%SystemRoot%.
This should solve the problem, i have added the script for the same process below, but i have not had any success with it. The keys in certain folders are not easily changed by script.
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"windir"=REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%
NOTE: the type of the key is usually what is changed... somehow by Windows, from an expand key to a normal
REG_SZ. This simply corrects this mistake.
