question about Run Program and windows XP 64bit

Post by vanfanel » Mon Apr 11, 2005 4:20 pm

How does the following command actually get executed by MacroScheduler:

Run Program>cmd /k cd C:\


I ask this because I am having some strange issues in Windows XP 64 bit. Basically the "set" command after executing the above returns a large number of different environment settings than if I were to manually run "cmd.exe" by selecting Start->Run->cmd /k cd C:\

This is probably an issue with XP 64 bit but perhaps someone here knows what's going on.

It was setting in my profile for cygwin that was causing the problem.
