Fixing a Wrong File Path for the Technically Challenged

[wolram]

I know i am dumb with computers, i am embarrassed to ask, but how do find
a file path and fix it if it is wrong ?

Since you're asking the question I presume you are using Windows. Go to Control Panel, click on Performance and Maintenance then click System. In the popup window that appears, click on the Advanced tab and, finally, click on the "environment variables" button.

You can append (or edit) the correct path for your particular application to the list of paths appearing in the system variables in the lower pane.

And we were told GUI would SIMPLIFY computers! LoL!

I still can't find the file path for my compiler, i have looked in the enviromental
variables, i am using win 2000 pro, but i am not sure what to look for, any help
please.

Here's another way:

Right-click "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Path will show you the current PATH variable, which you can change there.
