Alternatively, you can add the location of Fossil to your PATH or the system PATH. I use chocolatey as package manager, and it creates a folder that gets added to PATH. I add a fossil.bat file in there (similar to the already existing batch files) so I can access it anywhere. Before I started using chocolatey, though, I just added my main fossil directory to my PATH (usually c:\temp\fossil).
