I bet java.exe *is* in your path.
On my system Java-setup has installed a copy of java.exe in directory "C:\windows\system32\", and "C:\windows\system32\" is part of the PATH environment variable.

I know that there is a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment but I guess windows does not know
about it.
