Thread: now to set global path variable with batch?

add-to-path.bat (starting as admin on windows xp)

Code:

echo old path:
echo %path%

path = %path%;c:\teee

echo new path:
echo %path%

pause

It`s working...

But if I start a new cmd windows and echo %path% then it`s still the old content of path.

The build-in graphical gui of xp is very ugly and uncomfortable to reach. I prefer to make changes with text commands in batch files.

Can you tell me how to set them in a way them will be stored? (at least as long before I restart...)

You can use setx.exe in a batch file to do what you want.
