Sorry about the miscommunication Don! I was indeed trying to find where to create the rules, but once I got there, I found that the rule settings are worthless because they don't work, they don't filter anything. Thanks Charles.

Thanks Don that is exactly what I was looking for, I have Win 7 also. The only problem is that the win7 rules do NOT work no matter how one tries to set it up. For instance, I try to use a rule to block a fake email from a fake AT&T support person that just wants my info, and no matter what I...

OK, We all know that there are spam filters that you can use, but there also used to be rules that you could set up to block certain people or domains or even words in an email that you could select to block unwanted mail in earlier versions of Windows. First you can supposedly block domains...

Yes i'm saying it did work but I understand that it is only a temporary fix now. Ok so if this is my current path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program...

Hi here is the output if its too small this way as it looks like it might be I will include a url for a better image. Ok imge looks fine so no need to change it. Echo %systemroot reports C:\Windows Typing Setpath etc still reports C:\windows BUT the commands now work from C prompt Thank...

The commands work from the system32 folder but nowhere else my path seems right so I don't understand what the problem is. This thread should have been closed because there is another like it in the software forum...

Starting prompt as admin and trying to run commands from it doesn't work either.

ok thats a problem in itself, I have no idea what the exact path should be with windows 7 and the page you just sent me to allowed me to see my actual path but doesnt clearly state what the exact path should be. here is my current path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows...

Right I only have to change directory to C:\Windows\System32 and I do see the commands but running them from the prompt only works from that directory itself, no where else, and that is correct only some commands are not working while others do. Also i had started another thread similar to this...

They only work if I go to the folder and run them there, if a program calls them or if I run them from outside the folder, it wont work.. Thanks for your time.

Hi, yes I am running them from the command prompt. I don't know where to find the commands that's why I don't know whats going on with the commands not working right. I am running the upgrade of windows 7 I had Vista originally. As I understand it though the SP1 update was recently downloaded...

Good evening, I am writing today because I am having trouble getting commands to work that used to have no problem. the errors I am getting are things like Find is not a recognized command. Ping is not a recognized command Tracert is not a recognized command. Could windows possibly be corrupt...

This is exactly the BS that i was complaining about. We the average citizen do not have $140+ to spend on a new license every ^**(& time we install the program to a computer THAT WE ALREADY OWN just because the program doesnt want to validate! As I said before, I don't care how many &*$%...

I understand that too but I am tired of having to buy a new operating system every time Microsoft decides to make more money by releasing a new feature or 2 when all they have to do is come out with a &*%$^ update that can be downloaded and save us all a headache like this. I did'nt lease or...

Windows 7 Wont activate I too have purchased Windows 7 and want to activate it, and for a while it WAS active on both the computers I installed it on (they are both MY computers), then suddenly one day I get a message on the second computer stating that I may be a victim of software piracy and...
