Admin Tip #13: Add paths in autoexec to NT's PATH environmental variable

Hits: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

To control whether NT includes AUTOEXEC.BAT's path statement in NT's PATH environmental variable cut and paste the following registry hack code into paths.reg file and run it.

REGEDIT4
 BLANK LINE GOES HERE
 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"ParseAutoexec"="1"
 BLANK LINE GOES HERE

Set ParseAutoexec=0 if you do NOT want autoexec's path parsed by NT. See .REG files for background information on .REG files.




Tim Hill's text on command line scripting is outstanding. If you have an extensive background, writing bat files, forget it. Otherwise, get it.
