Re: cmd doesn't search my path for programs

Type the command echo %path% from a Command

No, it doesn't read that way literally. The variables are expanded
correctly (E:\WINDOWS). I just didn't want to confuse anyone by showing
that my system root is on drive E:.

And programs like notepad and ipconfig run from anywhere (they're
located in E:\WINDOWS\system32 I think.)

Any other ideas?
