The file autoexec.bat is a relic from DOS.  For the most part, Windows XP 
will ignore any autoexec.bat file but entries defining environment variables
will be picked up. Although environment variables *can* be set in this way, 
this is not the preferred method.  You should use the system control panel
as previously mentioned. 
(As a shortcut, Start/Run: "control.exe sysdm.cpl,System,2" and click
"Environment Variables")

Also, no restart of the system is required using this preferred method.
