Hi,
Uwe -- ahh, thank you kindly, I was able to do a web search after
reading your post above in order to find a guide on how to set the
path in windows (i wasn't aware that this is how a file is made
avaiable to the system). I haven't got it to work yet, but at least
i'm on the right track! also
Try putting PATH under name, and the directory path (not the file)
under value. That looks more appropriate to me...
Kind regards

Hi Joris, there is already a variable called 'Path', therefore i
appended the directory path to the other strings already in the value
section:
Name: Path
Value: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
%SystemRoot%\system32\nls;%SystemRoot%\system32\nls\ENGLISH;C:\Program

The PATH is a list of directories, not filenames. It will look

The easiest method discussed on the batchfiles site is to

Hi Tony,
You can name several variables 'Path' without problems. So you best
restore the original variable PATH to its original value (or it ain't

suggested.
