When I start firefox from command line, i does not matter in which directory I am. When I want to start for example lazarus i need to go to directory where file lazarus.exe is located.
Why can I start firefox.exe from everywhere and some other .exe files i must go to right directory
C:\Users\Seda> start firefox.exe // run perfectly
C:\Users\Seda> start lazarus.exe // can not find exe file
C:\Users\Seda> cd ..
C:\Users> cd ..
C:\>cd Lazarus
C:\Lazarus> start lazarus.exe // .exe file started
What Firefox does is to add the path to its executable to the "App Paths" subkey, which is the preferred solution against modifying the 'path' environment variable. To make the same for lazarus, you can add a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\lazarus.exe
key having the (Default) value of the path to the executable, e.g.: X\...\lazarus.exe
To have an effect on all users, you can use the machine counterpart of course
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
