‘[command]’ not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

None of the commands entered in cmd.exe worked exept when ran from the System32 folder. I Spent a few hours looking for the solution to this problem. I finally arrived at the TechRepublic forum. It turn out to be the System Variable ‘Path’ not being correctly mapped. Make sure the following are part of the entries.

%SystemRoot%\system32
%SystemRoot%
