Although this is getting off-topic, let me add that, at least in MS DOS 6.22, you can also set the path in CONFIG.SYS, using a SET statement, and that PATH statements in AUTOEXEC.BAT aren't cumulative under MS DOS, they simply replace the old path with the new one.

Re: mySql bat file
If u never set a user/pass then use root with no password. It is strongly recommented to create a user. And restrict the wide open root.
