%Systemroot% and C: \Windows in Path

%Systemroot% and C: \Windows in Path

I have noticed my path variable includes references to the Windows directory in both %SystemRoot% and C:\Windows forms.

e.g. there exists a %SystemRoot%\system32 and a C:\Windows\system32 in the path variable.

  • Is it safe to remove one of the forms, and if so, which is it preferable to remove?
  • Is there any performance gain (no matter how minor) to be obtained from doing so?
