Path problem

I recently changed the partitioning between C and D with Partition Magic 8
to allow for more installed program space. The paths to WordPad were lost.
I have been able to get it to work in the start menu but cannot make it run
from the Start/Run box without browsing to its location. I assume the
registry is messed up or is it an environment variable. I don't know how to
fix it.

Help appreciated, john.

Unfortunately MyComputer/Properties/ (any of General, Shortcut, Security)/
Advanced do not reveal any way to edit environment variables. I am running
WinXP Pro SP3. Google does not seem to be able to help me here.

Right-click "My Computer", Properties, click the "Advanced" Tab and at the
bottom of that tab is a button "Environment Variables". Click it.
