I was amazed to find out that the total length of the PATH environment
variable is still approximately 1000 characters in Windows 2000, after which
the user path gets ignored if the total length goes over this amount. This
was a serious problem for all the years of NT and it has been propagated
through Windows 2000.
Is there a way around this limitation in Windows 2000 ?
Has this been fixed in Windows XP so that the PATH variable length is
unlimited and can be dynamically expanded ?
Why is it so hard for MS to fix this simple problem so that the PATH length
is never truncated no matter how long it is ?
