A drive can't be removed from PATH

Something is putting the a drive in my PATH statement.
Because of this, I have to have a floppy in the drive all
the time. Win 2k's winlogin.exe program won't go forward
w/o it, and all my applications check the drive before
doing anything.

I tried the solution in the Knowledge Base; didn't work
(could be because, even though I specified Win 2K, the
article is for Win NT and the registry entry wasn't there).
I tried a friend's solution (PC Help Desk person) which
was to save a junk file to a floppy, then the hard drive.
Didn't work.

I've set the PATH without a drive, but next time I go to
the command prompt, it's back.

Can you help me solve this?
 
Are you using autoexec.bat? Did you look in;
Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment Variables|System Variables|Path

I'm not using autoexec.bat, at least not intentionally.
But the Control Panel edit did the trick. Thanks!! I wish
this had been in the KB article.
