multiple Oracle homes under NT

On a UNIX box, when I have multiple Oracle homes, I set the ORACLE_HOME variable to the home I'm using, and my path references ORACLE_HOME/bin. That way, I'm assurred of running the executables associated with that specific Oracle home. What about on NT? In the past, the release number was appended to the EXE name, and that kept everything straight. If I was doing an export, I would run exp73 or exp80 depending on whether I was using 7.3 or 8.0. But now, with Oracle8i, the release numbers are no longer part of the executable name. How then, do I easily switch between Oracle homes? Do I need to redefine my path each time? Has anyone hit this question yet?
