Under Environment Variables my Path Variable is completely
full. When I look at the value, it just keeps repeating
the same value. I was wondering if you can delete all of
the repeated values without causing any damage.

See response to your previous post. Posting the same message multiple
times just adds to the general clutter. Doing so won't get you an answer
any faster.
 
Doing multiple post is not a bad idea, especially when you are in emergency
cases. I would only recommend that you put the multiple post right in the
news groups area, easier to manage.

Sorry I do not have an answer for you I just wanted to make a case about
those techno geeks

Doing multiple posts is an *extremely* bad idea, but I think you're
actually recommending cross-posting. It's a bit hard to be certain since
your terminology is unusual. Here's a quote from a message I encountered
just today which explains the difference.

<quote>
Cross-post when necessary, but never multi-post. Cross-posting is when you
include two or more groups in the "Newsgroups:" section. In this scenario
the message and all responses are seen in all groups that the message was
cross-posted to. In other words any replies will automatically propagate
to the other newsgroup posts.

Multi-posting is when you post the same message to two or more groups
individually. In this scenario the message is seen in the groups it is
posted to, but the responses are only seen attached to the message (unless
you cross-post the reply) in which the response was made. So those that
frequent these groups then need to deal with or re-read the posts. It may
seem like a small thing to keep track of. But some of us actively traverse
50 or more groups. The poster also then must search out all of the posts
to see if there was a response.
