Re: Need help with command prompt path

I access command prompt by clicking 'Start, Run' and entering CMD.
Then I get this prompt: P:\>. This is one of my network drives.
When I then change to C: Drive, the prompt is C:\.

The path look as follows:
PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi5Bin;C:\PVSW\BIN;%systemroot%;%systemroot%\system32;%systemroot%\system32\wbem;C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\PC

You actually cured the symptoms, not the cause. The registry

I asked my question (which you did not answer).

and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and removed the %systemroot% entries.
Now it's working fine.

Thankyou.

My PATH environment variable (enter PATH command) includes C:\WINDOWS
and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 as a string, not the %SystemRoot% variable.
