Ah.  MSW-NT.  Now the subject line is clear.
I know that somebody else knows the answer and will tell you.
I would suggest taking the de-install and re-install quite a bit
further than that, of course.  ;-}

Make it not so.  However MSW-NT does that.  Is it still 'ATTRIB'?  Or
this new thing I see, 'CACLS'?

I suspect that there is a config file or a startup file that has,
literally, "path\to\named.conf" in it.  You have to change it to the
real pathname, e.g., D:\UnixLikeStuff\etc\named.conf
