OMG that's awesome. I have a folder on servers called %systemdrive%\automate and it has my misc scripts and basic tools (robocopy, Process Explorer, psexec, etc) in it for much the same reason. My command prompt defaults to opening in that directory. New servers w/out Robocopy mess me up!
Each site/client has a "master" of the automate folder. Bginfo.bgi hangs out in there too.
