When typing common commands, such as "ipconfig", in the cmd window the error
message "ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file" appears.
Following an earlier thread of 01/20/2005 "Subject: commands in command
window not functioning" I checked my system variable path and found it to
read as follows:
yÀstemRootsÀystem32;yÀstemRootÀSystemRootSÀystem32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\USBMIS\SG05_Palm\bin;C:\Program Files\USBMIS\OGR_Palm\bin;C:\Program
Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\

I have a strong feeling this is not correct, and don't know where to find
the correct path.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Rusty

The first part of your path is totally wrong. Some letters are missing,
a semicolon is missing and lots of backslashes are missing. Instead of

yÀstemRootsÀystem32;yÀstemRootÀSystemRootSÀystem32\Wbem;
it should be
c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32\Wbem; . . .

You can set it in Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environmental
Variables / Path
