    PATH
    « on: January 12, 2012, 07:18:37 AM »
    (win xp)


    When I try to add a directory to the PATH, I type "set path = %path%;c:\my\new\directory" in the cli.

    This works fine, but when I reboot the computer the new directory is no longer there.

    How do I store the new directory permanently?

    Creativity is a dirty job.

    It is something that requires passion, long hours, and banging your head against the wall. It requires you to make a ton of mistakes along the path of creating something awesome.
