I apologise if you've tried this and verified it to be the case, but I would have expected a notification message to be required, since Emacs is started as a subprocess of explorer.exe, and inherits its environment. Perhaps you are thinking of the case where a user manually changes the environment using the control panel applet, in which case, the applet will take care of sending this notification message.
