    Best way to use the path command for every session?


    The net of this is, shades of 1980s DOS, I'd like to have a PATH established for every Windows session, using the DOS PATH command. 35 years ago, I'd place the command in my c:\autoexec.bat file - but how do I achieve that today? Here's the exact scenario: I am using the jhead exe file - Exif Jpeg header manipulation tool - because I can't find anything else better and simpler to set the file date/time stamp for jpg files, to reflect the photo's exif data. This is a command line file, and I'd like to just be able to run it from anywhere, without prepending the path name when invoking jhead. So in general, wondering the best way to do this, specifically: How do I establish a dos path setting/command every time I start Windows?Where is a good place to keep my jhead.exe file, since it's not a true Windows file, but rather a DOS command line one? Does Windows have a dedicated folder for such relics?

    :)

    Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.
