Sounds like config options.   I bet they are registry entries.  run regmon, 
change a binding, see what happens.  if I am right...

Here is a quick excerpt from my AddToPath.py (search this list for the full 
source if you want it.)

from _winreg import *
hive = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
key=r"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment"
subkey = 'Path'
h = OpenKeyEx( hive, key, 0, KEY_READ )
curPath = QueryValueEx(h, subkey)[0]
CloseKey(h)

print "adding dir %s" % DirToAdd
h = OpenKeyEx( hive, key, 0, KEY_SET_VALUE )
NewPath = curPath + ';' +  DirToAdd
SetValueEx(h, 'path', 0, REG_EXPAND_SZ, NewPath )
CloseKey(h)
