Actually, an alias to a command can be done in XP. Using regedit I created a subkey called "cpu-z" in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\App Paths" with a value of "C:\Utilities\cpu-z\cpuz.exe". And now when I try to run cpu-z, it works. I can replace the value with a path to any program and that works too. Also batch files work, although a cmd window pops up.
One of several little tricks I learned from battling a recent virus....

hivexget
hivexget(1) Windows Registry hivexget(1)
NAME
hivexget - Get subkey from a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
SYNOPSIS
hivexget hivefile 'PathToSubKey'
hivexget hivefile 'PathToSubKey' name
NOTE
This is a low-level tool. For a more convenient way to navigate the Windows Registry in Windows virtual machines, see virt-win-reg(1).
For proper regedit formatting, use hivexregedit(1).
DESCRIPTION
This program navigates through a Windows Registry binary "hive" file and extracts either all the (key, value) data pairs stored in that
subkey or just the single named data item.
In the first form:
hivexget hivefile 'PathToSubKey'
"hivefile" is some Windows Registry binary hive, and "PathToSubkey" is a path within that hive. NB the path is relative to the top of
this hive, and is not the full path as you would use in Windows (eg. "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM" is not a valid path).
If the subkey exists, then the output lists all data pairs under this subkey, in a format similar to "regedit" in Windows.
In the second form:
hivexget hivefile 'PathToSubKey' name
"hivefile" and path are as above. "name" is the name of the value of interest (use "@" for the default value).
The corresponding data item is printed "raw" (ie. no processing or escaping) except:
1. If it's a string we will convert it from Windows UTF-16 to UTF-8, if this conversion is possible. The string is printed with a single
trailing newline.
2. If it's a multiple-string value, each string is printed on a separate line.
3. If it's a numeric value, it is printed as a decimal number.
