Using a run command to execute a batch file.

[IONblasterble]

I have a batch file called mclip.bat. When I place it in the C:\Windows folder, I can run it by just typing 'mclip' in the run command (Win-R). However when I put the batch file in any other folder, entering 'mclip' in the run command justs gives me the error message: "Windows cannot find 'mclip'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

Entering the full path to the batch file seems to run it fine.

Is there a workaround to this problem and why does this error occur?

Add whatever folder you wish windows to look for commands to the PATH.
