Vista Oops! Can you help?

I was trying to edit the PATH variable in Environment Variables Screen under Advanced System Properties to enable Java, but I did it incorrectly and then had to remove it, but when I did deleted all the other items in the PATH variable as well, actually I deleted the whole PATH variable. I know how to add it back, but I don't know what is supposed to be there by default, Can someone running Windows Vista 32 bit help me? I want to know the default PATH variables that are supposed to be there so that I don't screw my computer up too badly.

and I can't just hit CTRL+Z and undo it, because I accidentally also already hit okay.

Thanks =)

    Try doing a system restore (just click on the start button and search System Restore) to a day or so before now. This should restore all of the classpath variables you had. However, if you installed anything after the point you are restoring the system to, you will have to reinstall it.

    Good luck!
