The method I outlined works only for the duration of a single program 
run, because the sys.path variable is set up each time you run the 
Python interpreter. You need to look at the suggestions you've had for 
setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable to effect changes to all 
future Python execution.

Essentially this is most usually done in the "My Computer -> Properties" 
dialog: click the "environment variables" button and create a new 
(all-users or private, depending on your needs) environment variable 
called PYTHONPATH containing a semicolon-separated list of directories 
the interpreter should add to the path.
