I have no idea....It used to be the case, I made it that way.  This was
removed from the windows installer without presenting any reason why

        Stops Windows PATH being changed

Such messages, and this one in particular can annoy me immensly.
If I want to know WHAT happened, I look at the diff.  A commit
should give a reason WHY, and IWBN if it mentioned the bug
