Redmond Path

Redmond Path comes to rescue in organizing search path locations. Finally, you can see it all and move things around.

Redmond Path tool was designed to make the process of editing search path in Windows environment easier. It provides interactive way for adding, deleting, verifying, and reordering directories.

In order to find executable modules and its dependencies, Windows operating system uses PATH and PATHEXT environment variables. It searches through directories listed in PATH and tries to find an executable module with one of the extensions specified in PATHEXT.

In both variables items are separated by semicolon ';' character. Order in which items are listed is important. The first match found will be used. Windows allows to define both system global and user specific path settings. The end result is a concatenation of these two variables where system value comes first before the user value.
