I had posted a question a while back, but I was not able to see where it got
posted.

Anyway, I had upgraded my XP machine to Vista and have since applied SP1.
Along the way somehow I have lost my file path. When I open a DOS window, I
can't run nslookup or ipconfig. The executables are still in my System32
filder, and if I map to that folder within the DOS window, they run just
fine. It is just that when I try to run these commands from my user folder
that ehy don't work. Or at least I get a response of "nslookup is not
recognized as an internal or external command."

Any advise on how to get my file path?
 
Right-click Computer > Properties > Advanced System settings.
Click on ' Environment Variables'.
In the System Variables box select 'Path', click on 'Edit'.

Once you do the above, your path should have something in it like this
in the front:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;

Thanks guys for the response. I had totally forgotten about the Path
variable. I applied the changes you suggested and all is finie now.
