What do you want to know?

Every machine has differant stuff in the path because of the software installed.

When win 7 was installed there was a default path.

I can change the path:

path=%path%;c:\bin

But the default path returns when we exit and then return to the command prompt.

There is another method but I cannot get it to work?

The thread title says it all.

The default Windows 7 PATH is

Code: [Select]

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShel l\v1.0\
For most people this will be

Code: [Select]

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
