Does anyone know how to edit the path in win 2k pro???

I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanx.

Manually, right click "My Computer", select Properties
selection, click Advanced tab and select 'Environment
button'. The presented dialog will allow you to change
user and system variables.

Automated hacks to the registry using a .reg file or via a
WSH script are also possible, but your question is too
vague to address either of these.

Hi

If you mean from a command prompt/batch file:


I always use the command line utility Pathman.exe to modify the path
programmatically (NT4, Win2k and WinXP). It will e.g. handle repeated entries
correctly. A logoff/logon is necessary to see the changes.

Here is the one from the free part of the Windows 2000 Resource kit
(It works on WinXP and Win Nt 4.0 as well):

Download Pathman.exe from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/default.asp

Run pathman /? in a command prompt for more help...


It's in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools as well:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools will install on WinXP or later.
