  Have you ever seen a program that puts itself at the end?

  ROFL!!! See?

  Did you see Roy's idea?

  Take it out of the PATH, write a batch file with the same name, put
it in your c:\ute directory (already on the PATH), and use it to
change directories and call the EXE. And then change back to c:\
later.
