To change the path in modern Microsoft Windows:

Right-click on "My Computer" (on the desktop or in Explorer), and
select "Properties".  Click on the "Advanced" tab.  Click the
"Environment variables" button.  Find "Path" in the System variables
list control.  Click "Edit" and make the changes you want...

Remember the days when information like this was actually _documented_? :-)
