The PATH statement contains the information necessary to SET the PATH ENVIRONMENT (caps and emphasis from DOS). Still available in XP, and I believe also Vista, as well as Linux and UNIX, it is used in these operating systems to point to executables and/or data. The path to an executable represented by an icon is readily available in the properties on the .lnk. The referenced website has very good info on the PATH Statement and the PATH ENVIRONMENT varibles. http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm "The path to a file is basically its address on the computer. It tells programs how to find a file. It is the drive plus any directories and sub-directories where the file is located. The %PATH% environment variable specifies the command search path."
