The other day I tried running tracert from the command prompt (&quot;C:\&quot;). &nbsp;It wouldn't work. &nbsp;Neither would ping, telnet, etc. &nbsp;I could only access them if I moved to the c:\winnt\system32 directory where these programs reside. &nbsp;I checked the path setting, and %systemroot%\system32 is the first entry. &nbsp;I've only installed Matlab and AutoCad 2000 since the last time I've used tracert.<br />
<br />
How do I view/edit the default path settings in win2k?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
