Greetings,
I am trying to edit the path on a winxp pro machine and even though it shows
that I have successfully added a path in the dialog under "path" in both
system and user areas, I still cannot get windows to recognize this from the
command line. What next?
Also, I have a number of utilities that are meant to run from the command
line. To install them I am supposed to place them in a directory on the
executable path. This is what their installation instructions tell me to
do. I have no idea what that means. Could someone please explain to me
what this path business is all about and why I can not change my enviroment
variable successfully...even though my updates do show in the enviroments
dialog.
I have looked around online and most of the information that I can find
about these things is not very clear. Could anyone point me to a good basic
reference about working with enviroment variables and commandline
arguments...for noobies?
TIA,
Mark
