If you install just for the current user, the installer modifies only the user's "HKCU\Environment" key in the registry. When you log on, or when Explorer reloads its environment, the value of PATH is formed by concatenating the user value to the end of the system value. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
