Preserved Topic: win2k + system var, and some shortcuts. (Page 1 of 1)

Uh, I was working on some code at school the other day, and I was trying to add on to the path from the command prompt. I know that when I'm at home on win98SE the following command does what I wanted.
path=%path%;C:\PHP
so I was wondering if they changed stuff in win2k so that %path% is not the way to get the system variable path. When I tried it on the win2k it changed the path to the literal string '%path%;C:\PHP'

Uh, one more thing. When I'm working I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. One I noticed didn't work is the windowskey+m which normally minimizes all the windows, but it didn't on this 2k machine. The teacher said he didn't know what it was. He said it may be a policy he has on the machine, or it may just be that they changed these things in 2k. Any of you know anything about this?

Oh well,
Winkey+M works on W2k..

as for path, nothing is changed either...
just run: c:\>set path=%path%;c:\php
or path %path%;c:\php

ok, must be some policy's he's got running then, that sucks.
