  - or to use the set/end-local command:

 setlocal
  set path=newpath;%path    ^rem works if you have a path (you probably do)
  do_whatever
 endlocal                  ^rem restores your old path etc.

   If you aren't keen on having your complete environment restored,
you could save your path in a temporary variable (set temp=%path) and
restore that alone at the end of the batch-file.
