Can a script.bat make changes to Windows PATH Environment Variable

Question

I\'m trying to write a script that when clicked will add a couple of entries to the PATH Environment variable in Windows, instead of making the changes manually. I see .bat

If you wish to change/update the PATH permanently in the environment variable, you can use the SETX command e.g.

setx path "%PATH%;C:\New Folder" 

For more details information on %PATH% and other variables to access to system folder, refer to http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm
