Why not:

[utility]
c:\utility
d:\utils
[apps]
c:\dos\apps
[game]
c:\games

This has the advantage of making path additions similar to the way
they look under dos directory structure.
If a new application were to be installed, it should have a util-type
tag available for the paths.dir file.
All paths created on a machine could be documented in paths.dir with a
[misc]
tag for those without a defineable type.
Then with these fast directory changing utilities, moving into
paths even with five directories dep would be lots easier.
