  • Can you please help me. None of my commands work for my Command prompt.. Just doesn't recognise any commands..

  • @MrFluffypigeon Check your PATH in the Environment Variables. Go to System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables. Check to see if the following is included: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemR­oot%;

  • @scottstgelais No, %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemR­­oot%; is not in my Variables. Do i add it to system variables or to my profile variables?

  • @MrFluffypigeon What version of Windows are you running?

  • @scottstgelais Windows 7. I'm on a laptop if that makes a difference too.

  • @MrFluffypigeon Here's the default Windows 7 Path System Variable from a fresh Win 7 installation. It does not include any program paths that may be added when those programs are installed, like Office. %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemR­oot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbe­m;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Window­sPowerShell\v1.0\

  • @scottstgelais Umm, system variables or variables for my name?

  • Yes. Create a desktop shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. Once created, right click on it and select Properties. On the Shortcut tab, click in the Shortcut Key box. Press the keyboard combination that you want to use to start the program. The shortcut combination must consist of one character (a letter, number, or symbol) plus at least two of the following three keys: CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT. Click OK.

  • is there a button combination to open command prompt?

  • @SubjektDelta Windows logo key + R
