path


path

When you type an executable filename at the command prompt (as opposed to an internal DOS command), Windows starts by looking in the current directory for a file that matches. If no matching file is found, Windows then looks in a series of other foldersthese folders are known collectively as the path , or the command search path. The path statement is used to define these additional directories, and is used as follows :

 path [   path1   ][;   path   2][;   path   3][;...] 

Examples

 C:\>  path c:\stuff;d:\tools  C:\>  path %path%;c:\stuff;d:\tools
