Then your distro is setting this elswhere, you could try .profile or
.bashrc
I wish this would be standard in linux because it drives me crazy also.

obviously you didn't locate enough of them.
I usually use mc for this. Go to /etc and from the command menu select
"Find". Then put PATH in the content field. It should bring up a list of
files. Do what you wish to do them, then repeat the procedure with your
$HOME.
