windows 7 registry values suddenly not parsing %variables%?

This may be a false-positive, I'm in testmode.


The problem I noticed was my touchpad wasn't working. As a fluke, I fixed it by replacing the %relative%\path with an absolute path.


Thought my scrollpad was misbehaving, looked into registry, ensured I hadn't disabled SynTPEnh @


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


Changed
%ProgramFiles%\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe
to
"C:\program files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe"


logged off and on... seems ok.


ran set
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files


environment variables is ok...


anyone noticed this? is this normal?


thanks in advance
