Sure; it sounds like you'll want to set up your PYTHONPATH to point to a
directory that you have saved your modules.  To do this, add a line in
C:\autoexec.bat that says something like:

    SET PYTHONPATH=.;C:\python-2.0\Lib;C:\mymodules;

That period in the beginning makes sure that the current directory is also
accessible for module imports.  You can indicate several paths --- just
separate them with semicolons.

Finally, you may need to restart your computer to reload PYTHONPATH
settings: your system looks at autoexec.bat on system reboots.

Hope this helps!
