Did found a mystical environment variable (user variable) named PATH with value '75¦25¦'. Which SW does add it? (the value won't display correctly with this font, it got a 'pipe' character and a 'right corner' characters after these values 75 and 25).

LOL ... "Path" isn't mystical by any sense of the word, although to folks who grew up or were introduced to computers after DOS (Disk Operating System), the path variable may seem mysterious. When you exit to the computer's command shell (Start / Run / CMD), then you're in what we used to work with all the time, day in and day out. Path is a value that tells the computer what directories and subdirectories to search, and in what order, for various commands. Otherwise, for all but internal DOS commands one would have to either navigate to the home directory where the executable was located, or type in that path before every command. Path simplifies operation by telling the computer, in effect, where commands may be located. As for how that particular value got into your PATH statement, I have no clue. Windows does so much of this maintenance now that there's no telling -- from this distance -- what could have been the source.
