Editing the path? 1

I want to change the PATH variable for Windows. In 98, I would edit the autoexec.bat file, but I can't seem to find that file in XP. How can I edit the path variable (I know I can do it at a command prompt, but I want it to be permanent). I also tried msconfig, but couldn't figure out what to edit there either.

Thanks for any help! :)
 
Start -> Control Panel -> System

Advanced tab -> Environment Variables button

In there will be the "Path" variable - one for the System (all users), and one for the logged on user. Edit the path there. [auto] MCSE NT4/W2K
