Here we go, this (copilot-driven generated) code adds a function in the context menu to add the selected path to User Environment Variables:

Powershell: 
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AddToEnvVars]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AddToEnvVars]
@="Add path to User Environment Variables"
"Extended"=""
"HasLUAShield"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
"Position"="middle"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AddToEnvVars\command]
@="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User') + ';' + '%1', 'User')\""
"IsolatedCommand"="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User') + ';' + '%1', 'User')\""

I've also found this interesting SO answer that avoids duplicates, but don't know how to integrate it.

Thanks for anyone will help.
