"The system could not find the environment option that was entered."

I can google and find a select few other people getting this error but
no solutions. I get this whenever I click on a program that requires
administrator access. I was trying to remove a couple of programs from
startup and I guess I took off something bad as I seem to have messed up
my environment.

So now I can't access anything that requires admin priviledges such as
system restore, regedit, even installing new programs. Which makes it a
bit of a problem to fix.

Please try and save me from having to reinstall vista. (if it will let
me if it requires administrator access)

Many many thanks in advance

You might try MSCONFIG startup tab to see if your program is checked!
