startxwin.bat and PATH

Hi list,

I want to launch X at startup on my WIN NT station at work because I
use many unix machines.

This way I set a windows shortcut to startxwin.bat and the server
starts.

But PATH isn't set correct, as startxwin.bat only defines
/usr/X11R6/bin and /bin (and normal windows %PATH%)

I suggest this (changed this on my machine whithout problems):
 add "-i -l" to the xterm line to set the shell interactive and login
shell.

REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.
run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e
/usr/bin/bash -i -l
