Can someone send me a registry value?

I need the default value data for the registry variable found (on my computer) at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment\PATH.
Mine is now all screwed up.
(Embarassingly, it has to do with installing the sdk for Java.)
Thanks in advance

ControlSet002 is NOT USED normally. So whatever is or is not in this registry key is of NO SIGNIFICANCE.

This entire registry tree (as well as ControlSet001) is for BACKUP purposes when you use the W2K boot time recovery option.

jhance: Wouldn't that depend on the circumstances? I think CurrentControlSet is just a link to the actual control set being used, and in a machine with more than one hardware profile it's entirely possible ControlSet002 is actually the one currently being used--or is my understanding of this portion of the Registry flawed?
