The %PATH% parameter represents the current PATH and is normally prefixed to any new path.

When installing the Android SDK what is the purpose of creating a user variable using the environment variables in Windows?
The Android SDK requires that you add the following environment variable: ANDROID_HOME = <installation location>\android-sdk-windows This is used to determine where the SDK can be found.

With these variables in place, you can more easily execute the commands contained therein without specifying the path to those commands.
