PATH is an environment variable and therefore changing it only
affects the current process environment. You need to change it
at source which used to be in AUTOEXEC.BAT but I don't think
that is the preferred place in Win2K/XP.
I'm sure there will be a registry setting somewhere and a hunt
on MSDN will probably unearth it.
To write to the registry I usually use the WSH Shell object's
RegWrite() method. But there are raw API calls too.
Finally, ISTR that Windows actually changes the Environment
globally via the os.putenv() call, it might be worth a try before
messing with direct registry access!
