Ok, Adding Ruby to your PATH without administrative privileges:

Control Panel, System.
Go to Advanced and locate Environment Variables button lower in the
tab.

Under "User variables for ..." click New and fill with this
information:

Variable name: PATH
Variable value: C:\Ruby\bin

Click OK. Then OK again for Environment Variables dialog.

In a new Command Prompt window PATH should include now C:\Ruby\bin at
the end of the string.
