Meh. I've been using Rapid Environment Editor[1] which is a free tool that allows editing environment variables on Windows and has a similar interface for editing PATH.

I've always programmed primarily on UNIX like platforms but one thing that I've realized is that Windows provides a really powerful and stable API which makes tools like this possible. Microsoft likes to provide APIs and let developers build stuff like this.

People keep forgetting "there is an app' for everything" on widows.

One of the things Microsoft has done over the years is filling all those little holes that needed an extra download, setting up a new Windows machine no longer involves downloading a hundred tiny utilities.
