[Bug] Program In Administrator Path Override Program Installed By Scoop

[ghost]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

some programs are already in \Windows\System32 folder like curl and some others are internals to cmd.exe like mkdir, these override scoop installed programs how can I fix this, unfortunately, I wasn't available to find a guide on this topic, sorry if it's kinda irrelevant

> where curl
C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe
C:\Users\Sina\.scoop\shims\curl.exe

> which curl
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\curl.EXE

or worst case

> where mkdir
C:\Users\Sina\.scoop\shims\mkdir.exe

> mkdir /?
[IT'S HELP MESSAGE]

> C:\Users\Sina\.scoop\shims\mkdir.exe /?
"C:/Users/Sina/.scoop/apps/coreutils/current/bin/mkdir.exe": cannot create directory `/?': No such file or directory

System's PATH will always have priority over User's PATH. For curl, have you tried installing it globally?

For mkdir, nothing can be done as mkdir is an CMD built-in and it will always prioritize builtins. Alternative is to use full path, or create an alias to mkdir with scoop shim add mkdir-s C:\Users\Sina\.scoop\shims\mkdir.exe

The system curl always has highest priority and this could not be changed (I've tried all my ways) 😢

Not sure what the default is with CMD, but if you use PowerShell this can be changed easily.

Because aliases have a higher command precedence, you can simply set an alias in your PS profile that points to a specific binary of curl, like this:
New-Alias -Name curl -Value 'C:\Program Files\Whatever\Whocares\curl.exe'
