Here are a couple of options:
- setx.exe (Win2000 Resource Kit)
- setenv.exe (ftp://barnyard.syr.edu/pub/vefatica/setenv.exe)

Note that with either tool the change will only affect processes launched
*after* you issue this command. It has no effect on pre-existing processes.

Try Google or your favorite Seach Engine, whatever it might be. Maybe:
batch "permanent environment" +change
or similar.
