This of course defeats the whole purpose of the use of environment
variables, which is to get rid of the config file. If the environment
variables are not set it's because the user's config is wrong, they
should be set in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager
or (preferably) in HKCU\Environment. The code is supposed to migrate
them automatically, but this may not always work if the registry
already contains other values, in which case it needs to be fixed by
hand. Going back to the config file is definitely not the right way.
