How do I view/see the PATH in a windows environment?

For those of you working with LINUX/UNIX and you've typed:

c:> echo $PATH

..in a command line expecting to see everything in your path on startup and saw only 'PATH', don't fret!

type this instead:

c:> echo %path%

# re: How do I view/see the PATH in a windows environment?

On windows, the command shell's "path" command also displays the current path when it is issued with no arguments. So, ...

c:>path

will also display the current path. Easier than using the echo command.

The SET command will display all shell variables when issued with no arguments.

c:>set

will display path along with everything else.

Finnally, the set command will display the current value of the shell variable when a shell variable name is given with no value. So, ...

c:>set path

Will also display the current path.
