You can find ping.exe in windows/system32
move it to another folder but first you have to be the owner,then give your self full access then move ping.exe
Click on “Properties” on the right click menu.
Click on “Security” tab.
Click on “Advanced” button at the bottom.
In Advanced Security Dialog window, click on “Owner” tab.
Here you will be able to see current owner (i.e. Trusted Installer).
To take ownership of the object, click on the Edit button. Give permission to : Then highlight the user name in the “Change owner to” box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Click “OK” to finish the process.
Click “OK” button to exit this window.
Click “OK” again to exit completely from the Properties window.
Back in Advanced Security Settings window, you will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.

I think if you remove ping.exe or set it's security in a way, that
users can't access it, you will see that message.

John,
Can you find ping.exe, or 'ping' if your view options are hiding extension types, in C:\Windows\System32?
If you do, let's check the path. Run echo %PATH% and post it. Then check your system path under envrionment variables to compare. Also look at a server that it is working on. You can find the environment variables by right-clicking computer, properties, Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables, System, scroll down until you see Path. Here's what my Windows 7 path looks like, and should be similar:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\c:\dig
.
If ping exists, and the system environment path is correct, then run a malware scan using www.malwarebytes.com's free scanner. Remove all of the bad guys it finds.
Curious, can you run regedit from Start/Run or Start/Search? If not, then the problem may be deeper and possibly malware or a virus. Do you use this machine to surf the web, even for technical reasons? If so, you could have got a virus, malware, or root kit from a drive-by.

In Windows 8, the command shell will only 'see' the full system paths if you do a 'Run As Administrator' on it. I believe that behavior is by design for security reasons. If you create a shortcut to 'Cmd' on your desktop, start menu, or taskbar, you can edit it's properties (look under 'Shortcut [tab]' > 'Advanced' and there will be an option you can set so that it always runs with elevated privileges. You should then find that all the folder in your path, including system32, are processed and it works as expected.

John,
Thanks a lot, it work. Actually, I have edited the Enviroment Variables to set the path for Java and so encountered the 'ping' error. Well thank you so much.
