Access path

A directory or subdirectory that tells the computer running Microsoft DOS / Windows where to look if the typed text is not part of an Internal command. For example, when typing fdisk, if the access path is not set to the appropriate directory, you would receive bad command or file name. However, if the path was appropriately set, the computer would open the external command fdisk.

To set the access path in MS-DOS, the user would need to declare the path statement in the autoexec.bat or by using the path command.

  • Information about how to set the path in Microsoft Windows 2000 / Windows XP can be found on document CH000549.
