How to set the PATH (Windows)

NLTK

It was not convenient to move to the directlry under C:\Python27\Scrpits every time I start to use Python and NLTK in my Windows 7 environment. Now I learnt how to set the PATH as an enverionment variable.

1. Right click My Computer icon then choose Properties

2. Select "Advanced system settings"

3. Click "Environtment Varialbes" button

I am really not get used to use command prompt and didn't know the meaning of set the PATH (In Japanese パスを通す). It's shame of mine!!
