Or just type "set" at a dos prompt.

neither of the abovew worked, however a regular search did unearth
four results, one for the application which is lurking in
c/windows/$NTserviceUniinstall$ and clicking on it has launched the
utility.

What Paul meant was that "set" will dump all system variables. You need
to run this in a command window.

However something happened when you upgraded to SP3. It seems to have
deleted the file (didn't do that on my PC when I installed SP3).

Normally uninstalling SP3 would bring this back, but I'd not recommend
it. Just copy the file to somewhere like c:\windows\system32 and be
happy.
