Hello,

i can't execute system32 commands LIKE ping

when i type path in cmd i get this

PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system3
2;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShel
l\v1.0\;C:\Users\Meaw\AppData\Roaming\Dashlane\2.1.1.38487\bin\Firefox_Extension
\{442718d9-475e-452a-b3e1-fb1ee16b8e9f}\components

i'd like to add c:\WINDOWS\system32

when i add it using the gui path variables then i reboot if i retry ping it doesn't work.

if i type path=c:\Windows\system32\ in cmd

then i type path

it gives me PATH=c:\Windows\System32\

then i CLOSE the cmd

i reopen it and it gives me the old path

how to save the path variable ?

Welcome to CH.
You can help others help you by including information about which Windows operation system you are now sing.
Is it Windows 7 64 bit?
You should b a able to use ping by using run and typing in CMD and hit enter.
That should give you a command box
It is already in your path.
Code: [SELECT]%SystemRoot%\system32SystemRoot should be already set to C:\Windows which makes that entry C:\Windows\system32Quote from: harlock59 on July 10, 2013, 01:03:03 PM
