Batch script works only from C:\users\ps\Desktop\ but fails otherwise

[pstein]

When I (as member of the Administrators group) enter at the Command Prompt "nbtstat -n" it works.

When I put the same command into a batch script "C:\Users\ps\Desktop\test.bat" (=a file on my Desktop) and run it
it works.

When I copy/move this batch script file to any other directory on partition C: or D: and execute it by double click it fails with the notification:

'nbtstat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Why?

I guess this has something to do with permissions.

Open a cmd prompt type
set
is the folder for nbstat in the path?

Right click the My Computer icon. Chose Properties. Go to Advanced system settings. Advanced tab and Environment Variables. Under system variables you have to scroll down a bit and find PATH. Make sure this is in it amongst the rest in the PATH:

C:\windows\system32;

The semicolon is a separator.
