haha, holy crap, thats an old school question.

You know in dos how you have to be in a folder to run a program? like if you had a program called butt.exe that you have to move to the folder to run it. The PATH environment variable makes it so you can be in any folder and still able to type "butt.exe" and have it run.

it used to be in autoexec.bat, but I think now you change it by going and right clicking on "my computer" doing properies then going advanced the environment variables. Just put semi-colons between the different entries.

like

C:\Program Files;C:\Winnt;C:\Winnt\System32
