Do it at the Windows level.
The easiest way to see it is probably to start a CMD window and type SET 
PYTHONPATH
at the C:\WINDOWS> (or whatever path it reads) prompt.

You can also do it by:

Assuming you are using Win2000 or XP you do that by right clicking My 
Computer and selecting Properties. Go to Advanced and click Environment 
Variables. Look for the PYTHONPATH one in the list and select it.

Vista and Win7 might vary slightly...
