c:\WINDOWS\system32ok i figured out what the problem was.. the default "path" isnt in the system32, how can i set the path internally? so i dont have to set it each time i open cmd.1 Right click My Computer and click properties.

2 In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.

3 In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.

4 In the Environment Variables window, highlight the path variable in the Systems Variable section and click edit.

This is the default Windows XP path variable:

C:\Windows\System32\;C:\Windows\;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

If you need to add any more folders, they can be added, SEPARATED by semicolons as above.

5 Click OK twice.
