well really it's (drive letter):\(Windows dir)\explorer.exe
Well really no. since it is a windows command, and is located in the windows directory, By default, (drive letter):\windows\*.* is already a system variable that windows understands. what that means is it is a set path.
you can edit these paths and add to them.
to add or change or edit go to...
system properties. (right click on my computer choose properties.)
choose last tab "Advanced"
choose center buttion "Environment Variables"
bottom window contains your system variables. Notice under path you will see your windows directory, and several other directories. as long as a path is set windows will look in these directories first for any command you type.
For example when you go to a command prompt, and you want to ping somthing. you dont type c:\winnt\system32\ping you just type ping. Why does it work, because the path is set in system variables. Why type more then you have too....
no reason to type when you dont have to.
Not trying to be disrespectful in correcting you, just needed to clarify....
