| | Batch-file not working: PATH-problem? Hello, I wrote a Batch-file in order to use bluetooth with one click in stead of 2, but recently it didn't work anymore. Here is the Batch-file: @echo off start D:\bluetooth\BTTray.lnk start D:\bluetooth\TosBtMng.lnk I used .lnk-files, because I coulnd't find out how to insert spaces in a Batch-file (like Program Files: it reads Program and the Files it ignores, so it can't find the path. Later I found out that it could be solved by putting the complete path between""). The problem is: when I run the Batch-file it opens cmd, but then just shows the path of where the Batch-file is located: when copy the file to the C; I just get path C: in cmd. When I use it in path D:\bluetooth it just shows that path as starting point in Cmd. Before it would run the files and Bluetooth would function afterwards: now: nothing. I did install Java SDK and had to ad the Bin-folder of Java to the PATH in the System Variables under Environment Variables. At first I just cleared the PATH and had only the path of the Java-bin-folder. Later I found out I had done something wrong, so I added severall paths as shown below. My PATH is now: C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_10\bin In the user Variables there is no PATH. Does anyone know the answer? I know it's not a major problem, but it bugs me and keeps me "out of control". |

Nothing more. What do you mean it displays the path where you opened it? In the prompt> ? Run the script without echo off and paste what it says here. Paste the script too. See if anybody can tell you the default PATH for Vista is. I do not have a Vista machine to hand. ss. |
