Hi Anu,

You can substitute the most commonly used path with a drive name, say 'R' using the 'subst' command. And then use that drive to replace all the occurances of that common directory path. This effectively reduces the whole PATH variable size.

Ex: If most of your binaries present under C:\Program Files\User binaries\Application binaries, then you can subst this with

subst R: C:\Program Files\User binaries\Application binaries

And replace all the occrances of 'C:\Program Files\User binaries\Application binaries' with 'R:'.

And this shouldn't be a problem in the latest OS.

Thanks,
Rangarao
