I haven't usered windows 7 but you need to check the envirnomental
variables on you PC to see what they are set to. You are able to do
this in XP and Vista by running cmd.exe. Not sure if cmd.exe still
exists in windows 7 since microsoft eliminated lots of 16 and 32 bit
programs in windows 7. cmd.exe in a classic DOS shell that dates back
to the early 1980's. the first DOS PC had command.com which was the
window which would open up on these old machines. Then command.com was
replaced with cmd.exe. then the DOS shells were replaced with windows
3.0/3.1 (the windows versions less than 3 weren't widely used) and
Window 95.

IN XP it was simple to run cmd.exe you simply went to the menu Start -
run and typed cmd.exe. In vista microsoft made it more difficult and
you had to do a search by typing Start - Search and in the search box
type cmd.exe. Cmd.exe was really in the windows/system32 folder and
could simply go to the folder with a windows explorer and double click
on the ICON.


If you find cmd.exe then simply type in the DOS window "SET" at the
prompt and you will see all the environmental variables.
