Dear all,

I use WinXP SP3 Pro. I have a directory, C:\XEDIT, in which I have DOS programs, among them FULIST.

In AUTOEXEC.NT, I added "SET PATH=C:\XEDIT\;".

When I open the Command Prompt window in a directory, say C:\DATA, and enter FULIST, I get the error message "Fulist is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I must enter SET PATH=C:\XEDIT\ on the command line, and FULIST works.

Every time I close the Command Prompt and re-open it, I must re-enter the SET PATH command.

How can I have the SET PATH activated for good when starting XP?

Thank you,

Phil

Setting the PATH environment variable per user account or per system via the Control Panel > System Applet > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables Button has always worked for me.

Including a path in autoexec.bat located in the drive root seems to work too.

Scleros, did as you said, seems to work for me too now. Thank you very so much for your help!

Phil
