Rustom's suggestion of using regedit is going to be far easier than
using _winreg (which probably shouldn't even be considered as an
option).  Using `os.system('setx ...')` is going to be the easiest way
to do things if you have to calculate the values of your variables,
but if you just have a bunch of values that you're going to have to
key in anyway, just use setx directly (or in a batch script).
