Title: Legacy CLI command under XP
Post by: SavannahLion on April 03, 2009, 02:06:25 am

I'm trying to track down some strange behavior with some old legacy software and I can't recall what the equivalent XP CLI command is. I need to know which path a particular exe is residing in based on the PATH environment variable.

Under Linux it's which
Under DOS it's truename
What the heck is the XP equivalent in the command line interface???

I really don't feel like building a script to accomplish this.

"SET" will tell you your environment variables and you can also view them in System->Advanced->Environment Variables.
