Well, sounds like you have some re-education work to do. The whole point is to be portable. Putting things your web application requires onto a network share (I think you mentioned V:) that won't exist anywhere else is not the best practice for design, especially if you have to go in and munge around with the startup scripts to get it to work.
If you must, I believe you can pass the parameters directly on the command line, such as withthe endorsed-dirs property or others, as an alternative to messing with CLASSPATH.

That was my point. JAR up your class files, and put them
where Tomcat expects them to be. Problem solved. People typically use ant
to do this, so that it is fairly automatic when deploy time comes around.
