HACKING TRUTH

Say you have saved a batch file in the c:\name
directory. Now when
you launch command.com the default directory is c:\windows and in
order to
execute the batch file program stored in the c:\name directory you
need to
change the directory and go to c:\name.This can be very irritating and
time
consuming. It is a good practice to store all your batch programs in the
same folder. You can run a batch file stored in any folder(Say c:\name) from
anywhere(even c:\windows\history) if you include the folder in which the
batch
file is stored (c:\name)in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, so that DOS knows
which folder
to look for the batch program.
So simply open c:\autoexec.bat in Notepad and append the Path
statement to the
following line[c:\name is the folder in which all your batch files are
stored.]:
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\name
Autoexec.bat runs each time at startup and DOS knows each time, in
which
directory to look for the batch files.
