I’m having a problem with Windows NT resolving the %systemroot% system variable in the PATH. I’m trying to access a file in the WINNT\System32 directory. It is correctly added in the NT Path environment. When I look in the Environment Tab under Control Panel -> System, the GUI correctly maps %systemroot%\system32 to ‘C:\WINNT\System32’.
However, in the Command Prompt, if I do a ‘path’ command, the path variable shows the system variable (i.e. %systemroot%\system32. It doesn’t correctlymap the system variable %systemroot% to ‘C:\WINNT\’
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I don’t really want to hardcode the path ‘C:\WINNT\System32’ to the system PATH variable, and I’ve checked if there is anything in User Environements or Autoexec.nt that would add/reset the system variables.
Thanks.
