Problem with Environment Path Windows XP

Argh. I\'ve just discovered an annoyance with Windows XP path setting (in the Environment Variables dialog).

There should be NO spaces after each semi colon!

This should work:
%SystemRoot%\\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Program Files\\Network Associates\\PGPNT;C:\\Program Files\\GnuWin32\\bin;

But simply adding a space after one of the \';\' will mess it all up! Annoying.

BTW, you do NOT need to reboot to have a (proper) change take effect.
