| Aug 31, 2020 at 20:26 | comment | added | MarianD | @Ultralisk, oh, I tried another link, not mine. You are right, there is a new version of it, without executable. So I uploaded it here — it's just one executable file. Please download it within 30 days, then the file will be deleted. | |

@Ultralisk, I just tried is, and the link is OK. In the left black box is a button “Download (v 1.7)” and it works — you will obtain the file windowspatheditor-1.7.zip, unpack it in some folder (preferable a new, empty one) and launch the WindowsPathEditor.exe from it.

Worth Mentioning On Windows 7 x64 you also need to restart the windows for the changes to take effect. Shortcut would be to kill Explorer.exe and run it again.

| May 12, 2017 at 18:02 | comment | added | Mark G. | @MarianD, that’s actually a different program altogether, described in user2496012’s answer (#615584). I think it was written to be a spiritual successor of sorts, but it's definitely not the same. The "Path Editor" (with a space) linked in this answer was originally written by Redfern Software in 2012, and although it's showing its age, it's still my favorite of the bunch simply because it's the most light-weight option that allows pasting paths from the clipboard. IIRC, very few of the others support that functionality. | |

This answer originally only contained Path Editor. Rapid Environment Editor was added later, and eventually Path Editor was removed entirely because the site died. It still exists on archive.org, however, so I decided to re-add it since it's still a useful tool and was a part of the original answer.

| Jan 31, 2013 at 13:41 | comment | added | GaryO | Although it's perhaps not totally clear from the REE screen shot, REE can edit individual %PATH% entries (move up/down, highlight missing, add/delete), not just treating it as a string. Really nice app! | |
