What to do with software that consists if little more than .exe file?

On all prior versions of Windows I've create c:\usr\local\bin and
inserted it in the system path. I'm thinking maybe that's not the
right thing to do on W7.

Suggestions?

(Where in W7 is the screen that lets me modify the path?)

That path should be fine.
Regarding the environment variables:
I open the control panel and in the search control panel area I type in
"Environment"
That brings up the selection to edit environment variables.

environment

the top two items that result will be for your account / global system
