Imagine if the command prompt looked at your path statements for the file you specify before it looked in the current directory. Not very intuitive.



That's not a very good comparison as that's the normal action in most mature operating systems. Looking in your current directory first is an extremely dangerous and unwelcome action which has been deplored since it was first implemented in DOS - Trojan Horse anyone

Not that looking in the Netlogon share as a default is much better

Can you use a relative path?
