Hello, On Windows 9x edit your c:\autoexec.bat
On Windows NT/2000/XP/.NET, right-click My Computer, then Properties, then on XP click Advanced tab and then "Environment Variables". On NT/2000 this procedure is about the same, only the Environment stuff is on a different tab. Then re-run autoexec.bat or reload your command prompt, respectively.
