C:/path

[J1978]

Hi

While trying to use a few commands in a cmd window i realized that the default path of C:/ had changed, so for ex if i type ''ipconfig" it would give me an error since it couldent find it.If i type such commands in C:/WINDOWS/System32 then it works.
How can i restore that? i tried searching a bit on the microsoft webste and google but couldent really find anything.

any help would be appreciated.

thank you very much

Hi

No that was just a typo in the post....

In the environement variables i changed the path setting to C:\Windows instead of %System root% and it worked.

I dont know what the problem was tho.....

if anyone has any ideas i 'd love to hear.


thanks
