The system cannot find the specified environment option.

[OK]

I can't even click on: system restore

Can someone help me?
Thank you

    Hello,

    You need to open the registry: start - run - REGEDIT

    In: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]

    Right-click on "environment" then "new" and "string value"

    Rename the new value to PATHEXT

    Double click on PATHEXT and enter .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

    Restart the computer

    Good luck

      Thank you Yvesg4
      Don't think I'm doing this on purpose, but my computer refuses to run REGEDIT!
      I'm confused, but I don't know what to do anymore. Can I access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM in another way?
      Thank you for taking the trouble.

    SOLUTION:

    - Boot in safe mode (F8 at startup)
    - Click Start/Run, type "msconfig"
    - Go to the last tab at the top (Tools or Options)
    - Look for and execute in the list "disable user account control" (This is what's causing the issue)
    - Apply, OK, Restart and it's super great.

    OR change it right away to Windows XP.

      Thank you for your reply. In desperation, I reinstalled Vista. Everything is fine now. Best regards. GB

        Hello, I would like to know how you reset the computer because I can't click on it. Please help me as soon as possible because I can't launch any programs except the internet.
        Thank you in advance

    Hi,

    Check if your environment variables are correct!

    Right-click on COMPUTER - properties - on the left, click on "advanced system settings"

    Environment variables - look for "PATH" and see if you have at least this:

    %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;J:\Program Files\Windows Imaging\

      Thank you for your help Yvesg4, but when I click on advanced settings, it replies: "Windows cannot find %windir%//system32\\systempropertiesadvanced.exe'. Please check that you entered the correct name, and then try again."
      What should I do?
      Thank you Yvesg4

      By feeling my way, I managed to find this information. Can it be useful for troubleshooting? Thank you

      Good evening, I have the same problem since this evening and after trying the different tips I could find, none of them work. The last thing I did was the advanced system settings, and when I click on it, it opens the window telling me that the system did not find the specified environment option. What should I do?

    Hello,

    It's the PATH line that you need to check,

    You can also verify and modify it by going to "All Programs" "Accessories" + right-click on "Command Prompt" and run as administrator.

    In the command window, type PATH.

      Hello yvesg4
      I clicked on accessories, right-clicked on run as administrator. The machine threw me out. I simply clicked and here is what the machine responded

      Microsoft Windows [version 6.0.6001]
      Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

      C:\Users\Gilbert Baladi>PATH
      PATH=C:\Windows\System32

      C:\Users\Gilbert Baladi>
      C:\Users\Gilbert Baladi>PATH
      PATH=C:\Windows\System32

      C:\Users\Gilbert Baladi>

      Does this make sense to you? Thank you for kindly taking care of my problem; but I am clueless in this matter.
      Best regards

    Hello,

    Have you not reset your system to a date prior to the installation of Thunderbird? If so, reinstall Thunderbird.

    HELLO

    I have the same problem "The system cannot find the specified environment option."
    I just got my PC back from the support service, which reset the disk to factory settings, and since then I can't do anything.
    I (miraculously) managed to install ff but not Google Chrome

    I tried all the tips above but none worked
    The only thing I got was the response PATH in a regular command window

    Here it is

    C:\Users\Utilisateur>PATH
    PATH=C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program File
    s (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA
    Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbe
    m;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\EgisTec\MyW
    inLocker 3\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\EgisTec\MyWinLocker 3\x64;C:\Program Files
    \WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\syswow6
    4;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance.
