Path in %PATH% doesn't work

Question

I set my Path environment variable to look like this:

E:\Programy\Python; ... all the rest

but after I have it all confirmed and call env in command line, E:\Programy\Python is not listed there. How is that?

What is env ? How did you set the environment variable ? Did you try SET / PATH to list it ? — Ofiris, Jul 02 '13 at 20:14
@Louis, I tried to type env in a win 8 cmd and it doesnt work.. — Ofiris, Jul 02 '13 at 20:18
@Ofiris Oh, I'm sorry, you're right. I forgot I have CoreUtils installed. — Louis Waweru, Jul 02 '13 at 20:20
I use Administrator account. And yes, it's Win8, env works here as supposed. To change PATH I used My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables — alex, Jul 03 '13 at 09:08

After modifying the PATH you need to close the Command Prompt window and reopen it for the changes to take effect.

See What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them? for details regarding how to properly modify the PATH environment variable via the UI or command line (using set/setx) in Windows 8. – Karan Jul 02 '13 at 20:22
