All of a sudden , in order to run batch command such as taskkill, I need to do the following:
c:\windows\system32\taskkill
Before I just need to use the line taskkill and not define the full path to the exe file
I assume this is a system variables issue but I cannot see where the problem is
I have tried adding the "c:\windows" and "c:\windows\system32" to my path varuiables under Path but I am unable to append any new text to the Path which is vvery strange in itself
%SystemRoot% and %SystemRoot%\system32 are in the Path text already

Thanks to you all

Most of the installed programs will not need any PATH entry, but append themselves to it. I regularily remove stuff from PATH for that reason. To make it more simple, I'm defining additional vars like
_PATH_System, _PATH_DB, _PATH_Tools, with corresponding entries, and then put them together as
PATH=%_PATH_System%;%PATH_DB%;
Besides having a short entry in the system applet, you always can see new paths - they are appended at the end or beginning in plain ;-).
