With a 1% return rate, these bring in thousands of orders a year. If that 1% would stop responding to this kind of solicitation it would no longer be profitable and the rest of us wouldn't have to be subject to it.

When I need to set persistent environment variables in Windows, I tend to want to gouge my eyes out ... right click "my computer", "properties", "advanced", "environment variables", ... and have you tried editing $PATH in that tiny edit box?!
Fortunately, I just discovered a utility called "setx.exe" which can do this from a command line (ahhhhh). You can also edit HKCU\Environment directly, if you don't feel like jumping through these ridiculous validation hoops. Yes, it's rather sad that manually editing the registry is easier than using a tool designed for editing environment variables.
