Easy. You use a dedicated AUTOEXEC in the Shortcut, you
"setlocal", then "set path=...". You do not need to explicitly
say "endlocal" (although that command exists, as a formality);
when your session terminates, all localized SETs are terminated
too. Google "setlocal" for more (or just do "setlocal /?" --
help for ALL these commands is available right at the command
line! And very succintly expressed, too.).

Harmon is talking about command line usage; we're talking about
Shortcuts. These are diametrically different approaches.
Apples and oranges.
