Is there something similar to the UNIX 'which' for Windows 2000? I'm
currently trying to figure out 'which' nmake is being executed; there are
several instances of nmake in the PATH.

Thanks

I am not sure what you mean. I have the option to format
a floppy disk, but not the cd disk. I have Windows 2000
Professional. I have tried going to my computer,
highlighting the disk drive (gives me the option when I
highlight the floppy disk drive to format), but there is
nothing there to format the cd disk drive. I tried the
help menu but that is the only option I can find to format
a disk.

Thanks.
 
Ok, we'll talk about CD Writers in this thread.

To my knowledge, Windows 2000 does not treat CD-ROM drives as normal
read-write media by default. You may need to install the manufacturer's
driver for your CD-RW, and you'll need to download an application from
Ahead, Roxio, or other that will allow you to write data to your CD.

I am by no means a CD-RW power user, so there may be software out there that
allows you to have a Format option on the drive menu. However, I don't
believe this is the case by default.

See my drive menu:

See my Nero Express software for writing to my drive:

No. Normally, executable resolution looks first in the current directory,
then follows the path. The first element in the path that contains the
executable "wins". Of course, an executable can call an external executable
according to its own logic. So, if something is calling nmake, its own
methods of looking for or finding nmake takes precedence.
 
Sorry, I replied to the wrong message. I am new at the
message boards. Thanks for your help.
