Search Drives with incorrect Environmental Variables Win 7

Question

The login script maps a search drive is
MAP S1:=FS_BP\SYS2:BATCH
A batch file will run properly from a command prompt.
When running a batch file from Start | Run there is this error message
Windows cannot find 'Z:.\filename.bat'
The PATH variable shows Z:.
This is a problem in Windows 7 not Windows XP.
The root of the problem is that dot before the slash.
How do I correct this?

Answer 1

Same here - but I never saw this before as I don't use any of the
executables, which are accessible via the path set by the login script.
And the dot after the path (in my case Y:. ) I see, too. But that is
not different from WinXP. Only WinXP is able to open Y:.\xxx.exe,
whereas Win7 only allows Y:\xxx.exe - but it works if you enter
y:.\xxx.exe directly into the run field in Win7, too.
Seems to be a client problem, because if you set the path to e.g. D:.
(a local NTFS drive) entering xxx.exe into the run field starts xxx.exe
from D:\
