The AutoRun command (it's a command line, not a script path) gets run
for every instance of cmd.exe, unless cmd is started with the /D
option. This includes the CRT's system() function. Your batch file
needs to set a sentinel variable such as YOUR_APP_AUTORUN that, if
set, makes the batch file exit without extending PATH if it was
already done.
Also, you can't just overwrite a user's AutoRun command like that. If
a command currently exists, you have to concatenate your command with
the existing command using parentheses and the "&" operator, e.g.
(previous_command) & (your_command). Use winreg for this.
