Call Windows DIR FIle

[ner]

Hi, I have a menu that sits within the system32 dir, and i want to call a program that lives in the windows dir, but i can not find the command to run to switch from

windows\system32 to windows\***.exe

Have you tried cd c:\Windows from Command Prompt?

Have you tried cd c:\Windows from Command Prompt?

yeah x:\windows works

so will it be

x:\windows\programname.exe

You could also try %SYSTEMROOT% , as well as %SystemDrive%; it should point to the Windows folder. According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable , \WINDOWS should be used for XP.
