What file? Windows environment variables are stored in the registry, and can be accessed via the system tools menu (right click on a disc drive).

Just do a system restore and go back to the point before you messed things up.

Here you go. Read http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-variables.html to learn what most are. My bet you don't need all of those and let's see if you read it. That is, I see how to set them permantly (until you change or delete) but some folk don't read articles they just want it fixed for them.
