Here is an example from my own autoexec.bat.  It is organized to
allow me to quickly and easily revise the path.  I never mount
anything in "program files" (I use "prgs") except stupid Microsoft
apps that are likely to wire things in.  Note the use of subst to
cut the idiotic Microsoft long windy paths down to size, and get
rid of directory names with blanks in them.  I never pollute
\windows\command\ with extraneous utilities, they go into c:\util\
and are found as x:\

---------- snip here ---------
Rem shorten paths
subst x: c:\util
subst v: c:\progra~1\micros~3
set basepath=c:\windows;c:\windows\command

rem W98 Resource kit
set rkitpath=C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK

Rem Visual Studio
set vccommon=v:\common\msdev98\bin

Rem Visual C
set vcpath=v:\vc98\bin;%vccommon%
set vcinclude=v:\vc98\include
set vclibs=v:\vc98\lib

Rem Utilities
set UTILPATH=x:\;x:\ink;x:\dcf

Rem GNAT ada
set gnatpath=c:\prgs\gnat\bin

Rem Turbo Pascal
set tppath=c:\prgs\tp

Rem FPC Free Pascal system
set fpcpath=c:\pp\bin\win32

Rem DJGPP system
set djgppath=c:\djgpp\bin
set djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

SET PATH=%djgppath%;%utilpath%;%BASEPATH%;%RKITPATH%
------------- snip here ---------

The result at boot time is:

c:\path
PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;x:\;x:\ink;x:\dcf;c:\windows;c:\windows\command;C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK

This is NOT directly applicable to XP and associated horrors.  The
idea is.  I don't know if subst works correctly for XP.  I do know
no machine of mine will ever have XP mounted.
