IPCONFIG 'is not recognized' anymore

When I type ipconfig from command prompt, it results in "is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

From what I've observed this started after I installed Open Next (which added unix command functionalities like ls, ps etc..). I've uninstalled this already and rebooted but ipconfig remains unusable.

Something tells me that there are other standard windows command that became unusable but ipconfig is the only one i've noticed so far. HELP experts!

I changed my current working directory to C:\Windows\System32 ipconfig came up! Now, why haven't I thought of that? *slapping self silly*

Wondering why it was taken out of the path statement. Hmmmm. More to ponder on.
