Permanently change the PATH from within a DOS Batch File

[Dias de verano]

Here's my mountain of code to do the job I was after...

Code: [Select]

@echo off
set vara=%PATH%
set varb=;%SystemRoot%\sysfiles
set varc=%vara%%varb%
setx PATH %varc% -m
set vara=
set varb=
set varc=
not really sure the set vara=, set varb=, set varc= is necessary.

Nope. To add \dir to path: (you append it)

set path "%path%;\dir"

My "mountain of code" (not really) does do the trick, but you have cut that back about as far as it can go I'd guess.

But I will need SETX

Code: [Select]

setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Windows\newdir" -m
