Funny that this stuff comes back with every new release of Softimage.
There's some solutions on this in the mail archives, and even on the forums.

Is it not possible to write a launcher program that will do the same thing
as the batch file.
That way you can leave xsi.exe unchanged and it will still have what ever
it needs in place before it runs.

To me (Win7 latest updates) it¹s not available. It wants to pin to the

None of these apps offer this option, this is a task bar menu
"offered" by Microsoft. It creates shortcut to Softimage.exe but
Softimage needs to be started by a .bat file, because that's how we
set the environment variable per-version. Don't know if it's worth to
come up with a combination of different systems to replace that just
to work around that taskbar menu.
1) Run Softimage, right click on taskbar and select "Pin this program
to taskbar"
2) quit Softimage (important otherwise step 3 won't work)
3) shift-right-click on the Softimage icon on the taskbar and select
Properties
4) change xsi.exe to xsi.bat
