Hello.
I'm trying to automate a ping command. For that i've built a .bat file with
the command.
The problem i'm having that if i don't use the full path of ping
(C:\windows\system32\) before the ping command, i can only execute this file
if i put it on the Documents and Settings folder.

On another computer i have, i can use this .bat file from any folder.

Why does this happen?

Thanks

Luis
 
Use path command to add c:\windows\system32 or copy ping.exe to a folder has been added to path.
