Setting path

Hello,

How to make registry key to permanently set path for some dos program to run from command prompt from everywhere?

juliancrawford

This is the registry key that stores the path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment
Path=

You can also set the path using the control panel
Control Panel>System>Advanced Tab>Environment Variables>System Variables>Path>Edit

or you could place a batch file in your startup folder

set path=%path%;c:\temp
<--- this adds c:\temp to the existing path

My computer --->Properties--->Advanced ---> environment variable --->system variable ---> path then edit

How can I make reg key, to import to registry, path for example c:\epi6 ?

If I understand correctly set path is only temporarly till first restart? Then this does't do the job?
I know where to set path mannualy on my computer, but need registry key to set on other computer with one click on it.
