On Windows platforms, the installation program automatically
sets all environmental variables, so no changes are necessary. However,
if you must set optional variables or change defaults, use this
procedure.
- On your desktop, right-click My Computer and
select Properties from the submenu.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- Click the Environment Variables button.
The Environment Variables dialog opens.
- If the environment variable does
not already exist, click New and type the variable name and its
value in the spaces provided; then click OK.
- If the variable does exist, select it from the list
of System Variables or User Variables, click Edit, and make any
modifications in the Variable Value field. Then click OK to capture
the setting.
Note: See the Microsoft Windows documentation for an explanation of
user variables and system variables.
