MORE INFORMATION

To add and start Win32 Programs, follow these steps:
  1. Add the appropriate directory to your path in the POSIX file format not the Win32 format. For example, type:

    [PROMPT] PATH="$PATH://C/WINNT/system32"

    NOTE: File names and path names are case sensitive.
  2. Specify the entire file name when you run a program. For example, to run the CACLS utility, type:

    [PROMPT] CACLS.EXE
