The above given paths are the sum of the minimal paths given on 9x and NT. /WINDOWS is given on both, /WINDOWS/COMMAND is given on 9x/Me, /WINDOWS/system32 and /WINDOWS/system32/Wbem are the paths on NT systems. I don't see a need so far to extend these paths since $PATH doesn't need to have all paths you can think of, but the minimal paths which allow to run applications from a subprocess of a daemon. The important paths are the ones which contain DLLs, not even the paths to Windows native commands are really necessary for that.
