A few days ago, I relocated my user data folders ("C:\Users\Me\Documents", "C:\Users\Me\Downloads", "C:\Users\Me\Videos", etc.). I set the new location to "D:\Documents", "D:\Videos", etc, to save space on my system drive (SSD).
I am aware about problems that occur if you move the location of the entire Userprofile ("C:\Users\Me\") to another drive, but for my, I did only move subfolders of it - so I wonder if these problems also apply to my case.
However, I wanted to run a batch script today, which uses some programs whose locations are defined in the PATH. The script failed. It could not find perl. I saw after that entering "path" in the CMD prints out "PATH=(null)". So far, this is the reason why perl and other programs can't be found, obviously. But I wonder if the empty PATH could be a result of my folder relocation and if I should propably undo it. Or is there any other way to solve that? The script I want to run is very essential for my daily work, I use it often and it seems like it just broke because of the relocation I did.
My OS is Windows 8.1 Pro.
