And if you don't want to do it via the command line, you can right-
click My Computer, choose Properties, click the Advanced Tab and then
hit the Environmental Variables (or just press the Windows Key and
Pause/Break). Anyway, you'll see 2 boxes. Choose the lower one labeled
"System Variables", double-click the Variable labeled "path" and then
just add the path to your Python folder (make sure to separate it from
the one before it with a semi-colon.
For me, it would be something like C:\Python24
