'net' not recognized as an internal or external command

[David H]

I have a user whose computer just started doing this. When the login script
runs it returns this error everytime it trys to map a drive.
'net' not recognized as an internal or external command
I can map a drive using the "Map a Network Drive" option from the tools
menu.
Any ideas how to start troubleshooting this?

Thanks,
David H

Either net.exe has been deleted or c:\windows\system32 needs to be added to
you path statement. type path at a command prompt.

Thanks for the response. This is path statment:

PATH=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;C:\BDE;C:\HECEXE;C:\DAMBRK;C:\TR55;

net.exe is indeed present in the folder c:\windows\system32

If this is the path you see when typing "echo %path%" in a Command
Prompt then your path key is of the wrong type in the registry.

Run regedit, navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Session Manager\Environment and examine "path". If its type is reg_sz,
delete it and recreate it as reg_expand_sz.
