You need a semi-colon in there for the path separator and quotes around the
path because it has spaces in it:

Path %Path%;"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin"

Thanks, I figured out the semicolon part when i noticed my path is now
screwed up.(missing ";" )
I'm looking for a windows way to change path so i don't have to retype whole
thing at command prompt but haven't found one (i'm afraid i'll do typo and
make it even worse)

I saw a reference to doing it through control panel but that doesn't return
the same path as the Path variable does - not even close - so dont' know
where that advice came from (on wiki i think)
