 You may  prepare a small bat-file

RootSetup.bat:

set ROOTSYS=<the name of the root directory for ROOT package>
PATH %path%;%rootsys%\bin
root.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 

Sometimes one needs to increase the "environment variable space" for
"Command Prompt" Window.  This can be done through "Ms Dos" Windows
property menu.

 You may  provide a short-cut to the bat-file mentioned above and click that
 short-cut.

 Another way is to add 

  set ROOTSYS = =<the name of the root directory for ROOT package>

into your autoexec.bat file and short-cut to root.exe directly

Try and let me know whether you have any trouble.
     With my regards,
                Valery
