  There was no autoexec.bat in NT, unless you use an add-on utility from the
resource kit, or from a third party.  I don't think the tool in the resource
kit works with 2000....

  However, under the system properties (I'm not sure exactly where to find
that on XP...), there's a place to set "environment variables" -- and that
includes the PATH variable which was is what gets set by the "path" command.
So you can still do it, just not by way of an autoexec.bat file.
