Add EXE to PATH in Windows 10

Adding an executable file to Windows PATH means that you can use the EXE in CMD without having to type the whole path to the EXE every time. So for example you can type WinSCP instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe.

  • Click on Start and search for "environment"

  • Open "Edit the system environment variables"

  • In the bottom list you select the line that says "Path" and click on "Edit"

  • Add the path to your EXE but do not include the name of the EXE.
