DONE - IDEA: modify system path (System Path Commander)
mouser:
8000 dream on..
the limit seems to choke out for me around 1000.
not sure what to make of msdn saying 2047/8000...
maybe i'll experiment later and see exactly where the trouble begins..
mtp:
call me dumb .. cause i am! .. all i wanted was to add a path like "c:\program files\mplayer" to windows path so i could run mplayer from anywhere through cmd.exe .. and now i "discovered" the command "path" .. a bit of experimenting with it and then i got it .. i added the path by simply typing:
path "c:\program files\mplayer\";%path%
thats it .. thanks to autocompletion that was not so much writing ..
god damnit ...
Scott:
Yeah, that will work, but it's clunky and kludgy, and you'll eventually run into trouble, as mouser points out above. I still recommend using the App Paths registry key.
Scott:
This should fit the bill:
AppPathZ (freeware)
On SnapFiles.com: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/apppathz.html
Home Page: http://izoxzone.150m.com/product/app/ap/index.htm
I have not tried it, but a quick glance seems to indicate that it's what you're after, mtp.
Keep in mind that adding values to the aforementioned App Paths registry value will affect all users--in case that matters to you. (I can't see why it would, but...) The %path% environment variable has both a user- and machine-level component.
mouser:
chr has send me a beta of an app to do what i had in mind, let you easily check and uncheck entries, reorder entries, add entries, etc. all in a nice gui with a good backup log.
really excellent.. when he finishes it i will add it to coding snacks download page.
