Msdos programs doesn't run

Hi:

When I had Windows 98, and wanted to execute MSDOS programs, and I had, for instance, a program in the root directory C:\, I could execute it in any directory under C:\ structure, just by putting a PATH command in the autoexec.bat.

Well, now with Windows 2000, it doesn't work. Moreover, instead of an autoexec.bat I have an autoexec.syd, and the PATH command is there, but doesn't work.

It is happening with dbase.exe program, which doesn't run. I thank very much if anyone could help me.

You should use the environment variables to set the path in 2000.  Right click on My Computer and choose properties, Advanced, Environment Variables.  Then add to the path.
