Do you actually have anything in "C:\" that you want to execute?

Well, yes, though there's nothing to stop me putting it elsewhere. It's a 5-byte boot.com that does a cold boot. I've used it forever, and have always put it in c:\. Fergus

Sounds extremely dangerous to me. Personally I'd bury it. But more to the point, do you really want such a dangerous command to be at the head of your path or in your path at all?!? -- Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.
