Actually, autoexec.bat does get some special treatment on NT/2K/XP, but only
for command prompts (i.e., it doesn't affect anything run from the shell).
If you want to change the PATH:

Current user:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
      Environment

All users:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
      System\
        CurrentControlSet\
          Control\
            Session Manager\
              Environment

You'll need to ask the user to logoff/login for this to take effect, unless
you can reverse engineer how the Environment control panel applet tells the
shell to reload its environment variables (and remember to test this against
both OSes with integrated IE shells, like 2K/XP, and those without, like
NT4).

And, of course on 9x, you should use AUTOEXEC.BAT and force a reboot.
