In the command prompt when I type ipconfig /all I get 'ipconfig is not recognized'. But when I type C:\Windows\System32\ipconfig.exe /all it works. I believe this means something it screwed up with my path. How would I go about fixing this?
Thanks, and sorry for the noobness
At the command prompt, you should be able to type
path
and then enter to see the environment path for your unelevated cmd.exe
Right click Computer, Properties, Advanced tab, Environment variables, and then find the path entry, and edit...
You should see something like below:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowe rShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared
Broken down at the semicolon breaks, this is:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;
%SystemRoot%\system32;
%SystemRoot%;
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared
If anything is missing for your system, (particularly those lines emboldened above) you should add it (carefully, without typos or extra spaces etc).
You can also add any path to the registry;
