Re: [Bug-wget] How to Use WGET in Windows

[Henrik Holst]

Ouch,

  if I'm not mistaken Windows will recreated the most vital parts of the
path upon reboot (I.e the paths to c:\windows\;c:\windosw\system32 etc).

Not familiar with Windows but a quick google gave me this page:
http://superuser.com/questions/265532/how-to-extract-environment-variables-from-system-restore-point-windows-7-64-bit

You should look at the instructions under "System:". Don't know if this
will work though. Worst case I think you can recover back to the latest
restore point or what it is called now a days in Windows.
