If it's Windows 9x/Me use AUTOEXEC.BAT.

SET PTYTHONSTARTUP C:\mypath\myfile.py

If its Windows NT/2000/XP
right click My Computer,
select Properties,
select Advanced tab
click Environment Variables.
click New

Hopefully self explanatory after that.

In either environment searching for envoironment variable in
the windows help system gives the answer... The Windows
help files are a greatly under used feature of the OS...IMHO
