Or, right-click on the My Computer icon, select Properties, and then the
Environmental Variables tab.  Another way to get to the same dialog.

Don't have to, but you will have to stop Zope and restart it.  You can do
this from the Services panel (Right-click on My Computer, then select
Manage), or from a command prompt, using "net".  If "zope" is the actual
name of the Zope service, you can stop/start it with

net stop zope
net start zope
