I need to have ability to start program by the file name on Windows 7 like firefox.exe.
But nothing from this thread works. ie Notepad++ creates an entry in App Paths but still command prompt is unable to launch it.
For sake of testing, I copied notepad++.exe in System32 and then it could start from command line.
So it would seem that Windows/command line ignores/fails to see the PATH enviromental variable and App Paths registry.
PATH entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\YouCam]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CyberLink\\YouCam"
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CyberLink\\YouCam\\YouCam.exe"
Answer
Remove the space before C:\ from the last entry in the PATH ; C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\.
The above should fix the Notepad++ issue. For other programs, post their exact location, and the related entries in the PATH or App Paths.
[ EDIT ] When starting programs that are registered under App Paths (but not in the PATH environment variable) one must explicitly use
start.For example, just notepad++ will give a not recognized error at the cmd prompt, but start "" "notepad++" (or simply start notepad++ if the name contains no spaces or other special characters) will run the .exe from the location in App Paths.
