Description

### Comment:

On Windows (and perhaps other platforms), the default behavior of the [mambaforge installer](https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#mambaforge) is not to add the directory containing `mamba` to the Path environment variable.

Is it recommended to use `mamba` only via the Miniforge Prompt (or use the full path to `mamba` from other shells)?

What conflicts are expected if this directory is added to the path?
