	"My Computer" (or whatever they call it now) Properties/Advanced System
Settings. [Environment Variables]

	On WinXP one could access that page with a user account which allowed
for editing user-specific environment variables. My experience with Win7 is
that one has to authorize to an admin account, and can only modify the
system-wide environment variables from there...

Or type sysdm.cpl in the Win7 "search" box, then hit the [Advanced] tab to
get to the same place.
