Add string to the System Variable "PATH"

Hi,

I'm looking for a script to add string at the begining of the System
Variable "PATH" Statement to deploy remotely VIA SMS. I've tried using SETX,
I didn't have much luck I can't modify the PATH I can instert any varible I
want but I can't edit the "PATH".

Thanks

Setx.exe will modify the ***system*** but not the current
path. The change will affect all ***new*** processes but it
has no effect on pre-existing processes. To edit the path for the
current and for all new processes you need two commands:

set path=%path%;MyFolder
setx path %path%;MyFolder -m
