Is there a way to add a new App Path (for adding commands to Start-Run) without needing Admin?

With admin, you can add an App Path to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths. I tried adding one under HKCU with no effect.

I've added a new (user-writable) location to my user's PATH environment variable which lets me launch things from Start->Run, but the nerd in me still wants to know about the App Paths.
