Thnaks for the response. What I mean is, how you change the PATH environment variable programmatically?

1) If the OS is Win98, modify the autoexec, adding a line: PATH=%PATH + DesiredPath
2) If the machine is WinXP (and 2000, I believe) ??

Does someone already have a routine that covers all OSs ?

Thanks.
