Re: CMD Commands Lost after 4.x Install Windows 2000 Server

[Ian Citti]

Alright, I fixed it, not perfectly, but in case you experience the same thing...

Go into "My Computer" - properties
Click the "Advanced" Tab
Click "Environment Variables" (button)

In the bottom list, labeled "System Variables", select "Path" and click the "Edit" button.

In the "variable value" field, I added a hardcoded version of my system path...

C:\winnt\system32;

then, after restarting cmd, all is good again.

This is not perfect, because...

%SystemRoot%\system32;

is already in the list, and that should do it. For this reason, I am wondering if

%System%

is still being recognized as c:\winnt\system32

But my hack works for the time being. Any additional information on this would be great.
