Hi guys on a system I worked on last week the ping.exe and IPCONFIG tools
were not available from the command window I had to CD to the system32 folder
before they would work. How can I re establish the paths for the command line
tools on this system, regards Dave.
 
paths are set here in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment

note: REG_EXPAND_SZ as key type
