Guest JLCruz Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 When I pull up Run on the start menu, usually cmd will suffice when I'm checking things, but apparently for some reason Windows is making me put .exe on the end of everything or else it will say not a valid Win32 application. Anyone know how to cure this?

Right click My Computer icon and choose Properties Go to Advanced tab and click Environment variables In System Variables, double click PATHEXT If the value doesn't include .EXE then add it Click OK twice Good Luck, Ayush. -- XP-Tips [Change the default folder opened in Explorer] : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/hwandprograms/openingfolder.mspx
