Win10 change in method of adding file to 'path'?

Click For Summary
To add 'pip' to the system PATH in Windows 10, recent updates have changed the method of accessing environment variables. Instead of double-clicking 'path' in 'system variables', users should type "path" in the search bar, select the option to edit system environment variables (administrator access required), or edit environment variables for their user account. A window will appear where users can select 'Path' and click 'Edit' to add a new directory. It's important to note that only directories can be added to the PATH, not individual files.

I am trying to add 'pip' in Python/Scripts to path in Win10 but the method available to do this seems to have changed recently. I used to just double click on 'path' in 'system variables' and paste path to pip (or whatever) at the end of a string of similar paths separated by a semicolon. But now that does not come up.

Just wonder if anyone else has noticed this change in latest updates of Windows 10? And maybe tell me how to add a path to 'path' in 'system varialbes' now.

In the search popup (lower left of screen), type in path. Select to edit either system environment variables (must be logged in as administrator) or environment variables for your account. A window should pop up where you can select Path and select Edit. You can add a line for your new folder.

QUESTION: Are you trying to add a directory or a file? I don't think you can add a file, but from your question it looks like you didn't get to that point anyway.

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
