Syntax
Displays or sets a search path for executable files.
PATH [[drive:]path[;...]]
PATH ;
Type PATH ; to clear all search-path settings and direct Windows
to search
only in the current directory.
Type PATH without parameters to display the current path.
Examples
path=c:\windows\command
This is where
a lot of DOS commands are
stored in Window 95; if you are not able to do a dos command, type this command in, allowing all
commands you type in, such as "deltree", to be loaded from this directory. However, if
you have another file in another directory such as C:\DOS it will no longer look there.
Additional information
DOS limits the path to 122 bytes.
Every command is actually limited to 127 bytes;
however, 127 - 5 (minus 5 because of PATH=) = 122.
Microsoft Windows 2000 and
Windows XP users must set or modify their path statement through
the environment variables, additional information on how to do
this can be found on document
CH000549.
