Window Environment Path

According to chaslang, whom has help me tremoundously. He said (while assisting me on a issue):

"NOTE: I just notice something that has nothing to do with your problem but you need to fix it. You have your Window Environment path variable totally messed up. It is way too long and has loads of duplicate entries in it. I'm not sure how you did this but you need to fix it. Delete all duplicated. Here is you current path

You really should remove the first item completely:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\LimeWire\stuff\Software, Programs, Games\My Programs\Circumventor\ActivePerl\bin\

And this c:\perl\bin\ should be at the end."

"You will have to take this to the Software Forum but however you added it to begin with, you need to do the same to edit all the dupes and junk out. It is found by right clicking My Comptuer and selecting Properties, Advanced, and then the Environment Variables tab. It is rather awkward editing in there since Microsoft chose to make the popup edit window pretty useless."

I think the "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\LimeWire\stuff\Software, Programs, Games\My Programs\Circumventor\ActivePerl\bin\"
is removed. I don't know what the "Window Environment Path" is use for, or how to fix it, so can someone help?
