Hi all

I don’t know what is happened exactly but I'm always using CMD prompt to do
some of my works like run telnet command from any directory
But now I should go to system directory where telnet file located then I can
run it from there
And when I try to run it from another directory I receive the following
message

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and this is not just on telnet program
I receive the same message for every file I try to run it from another
location

Thanks in advance

Fadi

Hi,

It seems you have a path issue, I suggest you download and
run Fixpath.exe.

Fixpath.exe is in fixpath2.zip available here:
http://internet.cybermesa.com/~bstewart/misctools.html

To see Fixpath's output, run it from a command prompt...

When the system is told to run a program, it first looks in the "local"
folder. If the command (exe, com, etc.) cannot be found there, the system
begins looking in every folder specified in the path statements. After
exhausting these lists - and still unable to find the requested command - it
gives up with the message you saw.

At the command prompt, type "PATH" (no quotes) to see the locations
searched. The folder containing telnet will NOT be among them. That's why
you're have trouble.

Simply augument your existing PATH with the folder containing telnet.

Hi,

In that case, I need to see your path definition exactly as it is
defined in the environment.

Please do the following:

In the Start/Run dialog box, type in this command:

%comspec% /c path >c:\path.txt

Press OK.


Open the Start/Run dialog box again, and type in this command:

%windir%\notepad.exe c:\path.txt

Press OK.


Notepad should now open up c:\path.txt that contains your path
definition, and you can copy/paste it's content into a reply to
this post.

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\PROGRAM

Hi,

Your path looks fine, so I am not sure what can be the issue here.


Let's check the PATHEXT environment.

Open a command prompt

In the command prompt, enter the following command:

echo %PATHEXT%


It should display this:
..COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH

Hi,

Here are some WSH (VBScript/JScript) starting points:

Hi Fadi

Could we try a little experiment?

Open a Command Prompt window and paste this in:

path %path%;C:\windows\system32

then hit <enter>.

Now try a command. Does it work? (If it does, it will only last until
you close this Command window, but it gives us a clue as to what's
wrong.) Please post back and tell us the results.

Also, what is in C:\Windows\System32\WSG32? Symantec says it is a
keylogger spyware program?

Hope this helps

Thank you very much

Its work like a magic

But I'm sorry too because I didn't understand what's the problem was

And about "C:\Windows\System32\WSG32"

Yes it's for "Family Key Logger" program

I'm using it for a monitoring purpose



Thank you again and again and again

And sorry for late



Fadi
