The procedure for this is different between Windows 95 and NT:
PATH=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:\Local\TeX\bin\win32 |
If there is already a PATH setting for your user account, left click on PATH. In the field Variable appears PATH while the field Value shows the current setting of PATH as a list of directories separated by ;. Add the directory where the executables are located (e.g. c:\Local\TeX\bin\win32). If there isn’t a PATH variable for your user account, symply click in the field Variable and type in PATH, click in the field Value and type in the directory with the executables. Important: Click on the Apply button before clicking Ok, otherwise the changes to PATH won’t apply to your system. Be careful when changing the environment settings.
