I do not understand why Windows 7 is still adopting this stuffy dialog box? I feel uncomfortable when editing and looking-up a path in this narrow text box.

Is there a convenient way to edit PATH in Windows 7? One item per row for example.
Answer
There is always the Rapid Environment Editor which claims full support for all major OS versions, including 64-bit.
Editable tree
Show environment variables and values as an editable tree.
Portable mode
RapidEE doesn't require installation and could be run as a "portable application". View details.
There is also the older (but still useful) and more light-weight Path Editor. (Note that the site is dead as of 2015-08-07, but still exists as an archive.org snapshot from 2013-03-27 — direct link to the installer). It works just fine on Windows 7 and, though it comes only as an installer, also works as a portable/stand-alone executable if you extract it.
Path Editor is a small utility that makes path management very straightforward with its intuitive user interface and drag-and-drop simplicity. Path Editor can clean your path of missing and duplicate entries with a single click of the mouse.
