You need to modify Windows Environment Variables, in your case the PATH variable that contains the list of folders that Windows searches when you try to run a program by entering its name. To be able to modify this variable you must be an administrator



As an administrator, follow these steps:

? Select START %26gt; RUN or press and hold the WINKEY + R

? On the run dialog-box, type sysdm.cpl and click OK

? On the System Properties dialog box, click the ADVANCED tab, then click on the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES button at the bottom

? On the Environment Variable dialog-box, go to the System variables section and scroll down to locate the PATH variable.

? Select the PATH variable and click the EDIT button.

? BEWARE DONT DELETE ANYTHING REMEMBER YOU WANT TO ADD

At the end of the VARIABLE VALUE, add a semicolon (“;”) after the last entry (like the old values have), and then enter the new folder location, example F:\DiskMgm\Knot\Proy

? Click the OK button to apply your modification

? Click OK to close the environment variable and system properties dialog box



That is all, your change has been applied
