well, if you cannot sort out the environment variable/registry bit,
you could always name your path fixing module "sitecustomize.py",
and put it somewhere near the interpreter (in the original python
path, that is -- if python doesn't complain about missing exceptions
when you start, portions of the path is obviously correct...)
