Drives me nuts. It's MY path.
It's valid for command line apps which may be run from anywhere, but anything that runs from the GUI of course has no business using PATH at all - it should be setting AppPath if it needs paths at all. IMO new paths should *always* go at the end as well, not the start. I hate apps that automatically think they're the most important thing on the system (there's a security issue there too - the system should always be first in the path to avoid rogue applications redefining system DLLs).
