Right click start menu, System -> System Info -> Advanced system 
settings -> Environment variables

Or:

Open start menu: type "environment", select "Edit environment variables 
for your account"

Windows is hiding stuff that the majority of users should not need to 
know about. But everything is easily accessible if you know what you 
want to do (well everything except changing updates).
