   Why not consider saving them all into a folder on a USB stick drive and

    to be the first in your PATH?   
      
   One problem could be Windows assigning different drive letters to the USB   
   stick drive.   
   You could use a unique name for the folder (e.g. `B_A_T') and show it in your   
   PATH with   
   multiple drive letters.   
      
   Another problem could be you forgetting to insert the drive!
