Let’s say I have a foo.exe file that I want to use it from windows command prompt. I will go to the folder which contains foo.exe and run it. Now, if I want global access for foo.exe from anywhere in the command prompt I will put foo.exe in System32 folder.
This process makes System32 a dump ground. I was wondering if there are any other ways of globally accessing the .exe or bat files without having to dump all of them in System32 folder.
Change your PATH environment variable. i.e. “set path=%path%;[newdir]”
where [newdir] is the new directory you want searched when you run commands.
