The path statement provides additional filepaths to search through when attempting to run an exe.
After searching through the working directory, windows searches for the exe in the directories listed in the PATH environmental variable.
Type path in a cmd.exe window to view the directories.
Type set path=c:\dir1;c:\dir2 to change the path variable.
Type set path=%path%;C:\dir1 to append to the path statement.
By default xp's system32 and windows directories are added to the path statement. So you can execute cmd.exe from any working directory.
