Right click (or alternate click) on My Computer and go to Properties then
click the Advanced Tab. There you will find an Environment Variables button.

Thanks! How easy is it though? This morning I have started reading
about environment variables, as one of the scripts I tested asked for
the PATH_TRANSLATED to be set properly... I have no idea at the moment
what that means, but I'm working on it. But I have a feeling that after
environment variables, it will be a hundred other things I have to do,
each one taking me many hours of figuring-out, reading, testing, etc.
Is this assumption right, or once I've done the environment variables,
is that more or less it do you think?
