My Windows Command Line didnt recognize the command openssl. Therefore I downloaded it from here http://deanlee.cn/programming/openssl-for-windows.

But now, everytime I want to use this openssl tool, I have to write the following into my commandline: http://deanlee.cn/programming/openssl-for-windows

/Users/"myName"/Desktop/opensslforwindows/bin/openssl

For using this command I would just like to write

openssl

Shouldnt be too hard, but I dont have a lot command-line experience, and I couldnt find these information with google.

Why not install and use something like cygwin which has openssl built in? – Zoredache Dec 20 '10 at 21:19

Right click 'Computer', go to 'Properties', 'Advanced System Settings', 'Advanced' tab. Click 'Environment Variables'. Find 'PATH' in User Variables, and add ';/Users/"myName"/Desktop/opensslforwindows/bin/openssl' to the end of it.

You need to add /Users/"myName"/Desktop/opensslforwindows/bin/openssl to your environment path.
