Path Statement problems!!!

[Saucer Man]

I have my path statement correct in the environment
variable. When I sign-on and type PATH at a command
prompt, after the correct path there is a double semi-
colon and another path which is incorrect. Where is
Windows 2000 getting it from??? I checked the autoexec.nt
and it is not there. Thanks.

Have a look at c:\autoexec.bat.

it could be coming from the path statement under enviroment variables.
Right click my computer, select properties and click advances tab
,enviroment variables. the window at the bottom contains a path statement.
See if its in there.

got there. Thanks.

The PATH string in Windows 2000 is formed by concatenating three
components: 1) The content of the system PATH environment variable, 2) the
content of the user PATH environment variable, and 3) the content of the
PATH statement from autoexec.bat.

The third component is conditional upon a registry setting:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ParseAutoexec
1 = autoexec.bat is parsed
0 = autoexec.bat is not parsed
