Utility update: Fixpath 2.0

[Bill Stewart]

Hi all,

For background on this program, see
http://home.comcast.net/~stewartb/cmdprompt.html#6

The first version of fixpath checks to make sure that the minimum required
directories (%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\Wbem)
are at the front of the Path.

However, this assumption is not always valid because some installation
programs place their own directory at the front of the Path (for example,
the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools download from Microsoft).

This version changes this assumption and checks for the minimum required
directories anywhere in the Path.

To download: http://home.comcast.net/~stewartb/files/fixpath2.zip

Other enhancements:

- Has /Q option to run without user intervention
- Returns non-zero exit code on failure

Hope this is useful,

Bill

BRAVO! and thanks for this and your other fine tools Bill.
