Unlike COMMAND.COM, which is a DOS program, cmd.exe is a native program for the platform. This allows it to take advantage of features available to native programs on the platform and not available to DOS programs. SETLOCAL/ENDLOCAL commands limit the scope of changes to the environment, internal CALL and GOTO labels lessen the need for individual batch files to perform parts of a task. also see this about the command prompt

If you tapes path in the command prompt you will see displayed all paths (directories) that cmd.exe will visit when you give can an order. To add a directory (system32 for example) you tapes path c: \ windows \ system32;% path% Make sure to add% path% at the end to add the path to those already entered. Or you replace them.
