Using Python 2.4.3 on WinXP too. My Python is on C:\apps\Python. Works  
fine for me:

C:\APPS\PYTHON>python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
['', 'D:\\WINDOWS.0\\system32\\python24.zip', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYT
HON\\DLLs', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\plat-win',  
'C:\\APP
S\\PYTHON\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTH
ON\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:
\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-pa
ckages\\Pythonwin',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.6-msw-ansi']

C:\APPS\PYTHON>echo c:\apps\Python\MyModules > MyPaths.pth

C:\APPS\PYTHON>type MyPaths.pth
c:\apps\python\MyModules

C:\APPS\PYTHON>python -c "import sys; print sys.path"
['', 'D:\\WINDOWS.0\\system32\\python24.zip', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYT
HON\\DLLs', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\plat-win',  
'C:\\APP
S\\PYTHON\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\apps\\Python\\MyModules',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\
site-packages', 'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\
lib\\site-packages\\win32',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib',
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin',  
'C:\\APPS\\PYTHON\\lib\\site-
packages\\wx-2.6-msw-ansi']
