Please Help Run without *.ext

Good day,

I'm trying to run mmc snapins from the Start | Run box without typing
their extensions. For example I would like to run gpedit.msc by only
typing gpedit. I have ensured that all these snapins are located in a
directory that is listed in the Path environment variable. I have also
added *.msc to my PathExt environment variable. I am now able to open
gpedit from cmd.exe by typing only gpedit. But when I type gpedit into
Start | Run I get the file not found error. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Derek
