Does someone know why "c:\Windows\System32" is included in the path?
That's standard on Windows systems AFAIK. I'm looking at the path on my
Win XP machine right now, and it has C:\WINDOWS\System32, C:\WINDOWS and
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem on the System portion of the path (the portion
common to all users). All you need to do is move the IM bin directory
ahead of the WINDOWS stuff on the path. Unfortunately, Microsoft being
Microsoft, the system portion of the path precedes, rather than follows,
the user portion of the path when the two are glued together into the
PATH environment variable. If you installed IM for yourself only,
rather than for "all users", that would cause IM to go on the user path,
and come after the C:\WINDOWS stuff on the path string. You can just
edit the two path strings and move IM to the system portion, near the front.
FYI, there is a freeware program called "Path Editor" (from
RedfernPlace) that makes editing paths easy on Windows.
